Caribbean American Heritage Month
"Caribbean Americans are part of a great national tradition, descendants of hopeful, striving people who journeyed to our lands in search of a better life.
They were drawn by a belief in the power of opportunity, a belief that through hard work and sacrifice, they could provide their children with chances they had never known. Thanks to these opportunities and their talent and perseverance, Caribbean Americans have contributed to every aspect of our society
-- from science and medicine to business and the arts. During National Caribbean-American Heritage Month, we honor their history, culture, and essential role in the American narrative." President Barack Obama, June 2014

"On behalf of the Government of the United States, congratulations to the people of Grenada on your 45th anniversary of independence on February 7.
Grenada is a warm and welcoming host to thousands of Americans each year, and many U.S. students also call the Spice Isle “home.” The United States values our strong people-to-people ties, which have laid the foundation for our ongoing partnership with Grenada to combat drug and human trafficking, mitigate the effects of natural disaster, and promote economic prosperity and entrepreneurship. We look forward to deepening cooperation in these areas as we work together to implement the U.S.-Caribbean 2020 initiative.
The United States values this longstanding friendship and wishes the citizens of Grenada a happy Independence Day celebration."
