October | Disability Employment Awareness Month

November | Native American Heritage Month
In 1990, the U.S. Congress designated November as Native American Heritage Month. 这段时期对我们yzcca88游戏登录网址有着特殊的共鸣，因为我们与yzcca88游戏登录网址称之为家的土地上的土著和土著人民有着历史上的关系. As documented and described in the findings of the John Evans Report and other sources, DU的建立过程中的重要人物要为针对土著人民的暴力和不公正行为负责，特别是在沙溪. This tragic, historical legacy is something we struggle with to this very day. 我们这样做是为了承认yzcca88游戏登录网址现在所在的土地是夏安族和阿拉帕霍部落祖先的家园, and that there is much work still to be accomplished. This work will take the active participation of each of us, the entire DU community.

January | Martin Luther King Jr. Day
We celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. 这一天被定为联邦假日，以纪念他，并向美国展示了一条与痛苦的历史和平相处的道路. In Dr. King, the Black resistance movement found a champion with the revolutionary vision, the political savvy and the oratory ability to spark our imagination and capture the nation’s conscience. Though he was not the first to advocate for racial equality, with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Dr. 金和他的许多盟友在美国的治理框架中纳入了一个持久的理想，即所有人都是平等的，因此应该被平等对待.

February | Black History Month
Black History Month is a dedicated time to recognize the contributions of Black peoples to the world. It was in 1915, almost half a century after the abolition of slavery, that historians Carter G. Woodson and Jesse Moorland celebrated what was then termed “Negro History Week.” In 1976, President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month, asking for the public to “seize an opportunity to honor the often-neglected achievements” of Black people. 这个月也是一个反思历史和当代对整个种族犯下的不公正行为，并想象一个应该不同的世界的时刻. 黑人和非裔美国人社区继续在不公正的刑事司法和教育制度的控制下挣扎，这些制度继续削弱其人民的生命和机会. These are systems that require re-imagining and re-building and we all share in that work.

April | Arab American Heritage Month
For centuries, members of the Arab community have come to America’s shores, sharing with this country their gifts, talents and unique perspectives. As we welcome others from around the globe, we also welcome migrants from the 22 Arab nations who arrive to seek opportunities, flee persecution or simply look to build a better life. As a community and as an institution, we have a supporting role to play in helping them to realize their dreams and aspirations here in America.

May | Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Month
In May, we celebrate Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Month. May was selected to commemorate these communities to recognize two historical contributions. On May 7, 1843, the first Japanese people immigrated to the United States and May 10, 1869 marks the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad, the majority of which was crafted by Chinese immigrants. In honoring the contributions of Asian, Pacific Islander and Desi Americans, we also acknowledge the lived experiences of members of these communities, both in the past and today. This includes deeply meaningful accomplishments, vibrant cultural contributions and, unfortunately, challenges in the face of hate, violence and racism.

May | Jewish American Heritage Month
On April 20, 2006, President George W. Bush proclaimed that May would be Jewish American Heritage Month. 之所以选择5月，是因为2004年5月美国犹太人历史350周年的庆祝活动非常成功. As we uplift Jewish communities for Jewish American Heritage Month, we must also note the world’s historical and, unfortunately, continued antisemitism. Yet, despite centuries of marginalization, Jewish Americans have persevered. 我们承认犹太社区面临的挑战，同时也庆祝犹太社区的成功.

June | Pride Month
Pride Month was first celebrated in the 1970s during what is considered the inception of the modern ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, two-spirit, and more’ (LGBTQIA2+) movement. Inspired by the passionate and transformative June 1969 Stonewall Riots, Pride Month has grown and evolved significantly over the past 50 years. Intersecting identities have become a fundamental part of the modern LGBTQ+ movement, ensuring other social justice issues and salient identities are not left behind.
