The month of April is quite busy, with it being the month of Easter and Autism Awareness Month. Governor Gretchen Whitmer has also recently proclaimed it to be Arab-American Heritage and Chaldean-American Month.
Gov. Whitmer feels that it is important to highlight and celebrate the culture, heritage, and contributions that Arab and Chaldean-Americans have made to the state of Michigan.
Gov. Whitmer says, “Both communities have made immeasurable contributions to Michigan’s culture and economy, moving our state forward. I encourage all Michiganders this month to learn more about our extraordinary Arab and Chaldean-American communities.”
Michigan is home to one of the largest Arab-American communities in the U.S. as well as the largest concentration of Chaldean Assyrian Syriacs in the country.
