Each June, we commemorate LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Month, a time to honor the legacy of the Stonewall Uprising in 1969. This pivotal moment in New York City ignited the modern LGBTQIA2+ rights movement in the U.S.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Initially observed as “Gay Pride Day” on the last Sunday of June, the celebration quickly evolved into a month-long series of events. Today, Pride Month is a globally-recognized period marked by parades, symposia, educational workshops, community gatherings, and honoring those who lost their lives to violence and HIV\/AIDS. It serves as a powerful platform for the LGBTQIA2+ community to celebrate their identities, achievements, and resilience.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Beyond the festivities, Pride Month fosters a deeper understanding of the profound impact LGBTQIA2+ individuals have had on society. Learn more about Pride Month by visiting the Library of Congress<\/a>. Celebrate Pride Month with the Colorado Springs community at Pikes Peak Pride \u2013 a two-day event, June 8-9, with vendor booths, food trucks, beer garden, and high energy entertainment to include a fabulous parade on Sunday, which starts at 11 a.m. Both days will run from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. For more information, visit Pikes Peak Pride<\/a>. Come celebrate and support our local LGTBQIA2S+ community!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

In 2006, a presidential proclamation declared June Caribbean American Heritage Month. Since then, our county has marked this month by celebrating the rich and diverse culture of Caribbean American people and their contribution to the U.S. Throughout our history, Caribbean Americans have fought for equity and equality despite continued discrimination. However, in spite of hardships, the people of this vibrant culture have helped shape our society in all areas, including the admirable work of those such as our nation\u2019s first Supreme Court Justice of Puerto Rican descent, Sonia Sotomayor, the son of Jamaican immigrants and the first Black Secretary of State, General Colin Powell, and our current Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black American of Jamaican heritage to hold this high office.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

This month, we also celebrate Immigrant Heritage Month. Since June of 2014, this celebration has honored the idea that everyone has a piece in the larger American story, whether as a person native to this land, a descendant of enslaved people, or any one of the many who came here in search of a better life. Unless you are solely of Indigenous American decent, one or more of your ancestors was an immigrant. Take some time this month to explore your own immigrant heritage.

Sean McGonigle \u201924 has been awarded a place with the JET Program as an assistant language teacher. Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) assistant language teachers (ALT) are placed in various schools throughout Japan, assisting teachers in English classrooms. The ALTs create lessons, help out with extracurriculars, and engage in local events. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

After being nominated by Hiromi Onishi and the entire CC Japanese Program, McGonigle, a Philosophy major with an Asian Studies and Japanese Language minor, says, \u201cI am very excited to have the chance to pursue both education and the progression of my Japanese linguistic abilities though the JET program! The amazing teachers of the CC Japanese Program have helped me grow both linguistically and culturally throughout my time, and I will always be grateful for their support.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
