Caribbean Heritage Month
Florida's House of Representatives has designated June 2026 as "Caribbean Heritage Month" through a ceremonial resolution. This non-binding designation encourages all Floridians to recognize Caribbean American contributions to the state's cultural, historical, and societal fabric. The resolution highlights the community's achievements across fields like arts, civil rights, and public service without creating new policies or affecting specific groups. It serves solely as a formal observance, with no funding, regulations, or direct impact beyond symbolic recognition.
