SUMMARY:Democratic Republic of Congo Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Democratic Republic of Congo Independence Day\n  \nIndependence Day is a public holiday in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo)\, observed on June 30th each year. \nThis day is the National Day of DR Congo and marks independence from Belgium in June 1960. \n  \nHistory of Independence Day\nAs the various European powers vied for control of the African continent in the late 19th century\, the Congo came under the gaze of King Leopold II of Belgium. \nLeopold personally acquired the ‘rights’ to the Congo territory at the Conference of Berlin in 1885 and named the land the Congo Free State.  After years of abuse of the local population\, the Belgian parliament took control of the free state in 1908\, creating the Belgian Congo.  The Belgian Congo gained its independence from Belgium on June 30th 1960 as the Republic of Congo. \nThis name proved more than a bit confusing as the French colony of Middle Congo was also called the Republic of Congo.  To make a distinction\, the two countries were more commonly known as Congo-Léopoldville (ex-Belgian) and Congo-Brazzaville (ex-French)\, after their capital cities. In 1971\, Congo-Léopoldville was named Zaire.  A popular rebellion in Zaire in 1996\, led to the country adopting its current name of DR Congo in 1997. \nTo mark the day\, military parades and other parades\, are broadcast on television. \nIn a reminder of the conflict that has riven the country since independence\, this is also a time to place wreaths on the gravesites of loved ones who have died in civil wars and fighting. \n  \nSource: https://www.officeholidays.com/holidays/dr-congo/dr-congo-independence-day \n  \nPlease support organizations impacting the Black community in the DRC: \nEnable the Disable Action

SUMMARY:Djibouti Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Djibouti Independence Day\n  \nNational Day in Djibouti takes place on 27 June\, the anniversary of Djibouti’s declaring independence from France back in 1977. Sometimes\, National Day is also called “Independence Day” in Djibouti. \nThe French first entered what is now Djibouti in 1862\, and by 1894 they had taken over the entire territory and made it the colony of “French Somaliland”. In 1960\, the neighboring colonies of British and Italian Somaliland gained independence and united to form modern Somalia. But Djibouti chose to remain with France. \nIn 1967\, again Djibouti voted to remain under France\, but this time with greater internal self-rule. Finally\, in 1977\, the people voted overwhelmingly for full independence but not for union with Somalia. \nOn National Day you will see store fronts decorated with painted-on flags of Djibouti\, and there will be festive events all over the country. \n

SUMMARY:Somalia Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Somalia Independence Day\n  \n26 June is Independence Day in Somalia\, while 1 July is Republic Day. This\, combined with the existence of Somaliland Sovereignty Day on 18 May makes for a rather complex situation\, but we hope to bring some clarity to that momentarily. \nThe region along the horn of Africa\, inhabited by the Somali people for centuries\, was a hub of trade and a wealthy\, important region. Then\, it was divided between British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland during the Scramble For Africa in the 19th Century. After World War II\, however\, the British half of Somalia became independent on 26 June\, 1960. This is the date for the Independence Day of the whole country\, oddly enough. Today\, that same half of the country is semi-autonomous and vying for full independence from Somalia\, and Somaliland Sovereignty Day commemorates the day in 1991 when they declared themselves independent. \nBut it gets even more complicated. Five days after British Somaliland became independent\, it joined Italian Somaliland\, which became independent that same day\, to form modern Somalia. But even though Somalia was formed\, or at least reunited\, on 1 July\, 1 July is called Republic Day rather than Independence Day.

SUMMARY:Mozambique Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Mozambique Independence Day\n  \nWhen is Mozambique Independence Day?\nIndependence Day\, also known in Portuguese as Dia da Independência Nacional\, is a national holiday celebrated on June 25th. \nIt commemorates Mozambique’s independence from Portugal on June 25th 1975. \nHistory of Mozambique Independence Day\nMozambique lies on the southeastern coast of Africa. the Europeans first visited Mozambique during the voyages of the Portuguese explorer\, Vasco Da Gama at the end of the fifteenth century. By 1530\, Portugal had established a strong presence in the region effectively controlling the area. \nBy the middle of the twentieth century\, Mozambique was still an overseas territory of Portugal\, despite the movement towards independence from the colonial powers that was taking place elsewhere on the African continent. \nIn 1962 several anti-colonial groups combined to form the Front for the Mozambique Liberation (FRELIMO). In September 1964\, they began an armed guerilla campaign against the Portuguese. \nTogether with similar armed movements in other Portuguese territories such as Angola and Guinea-Bissau\, this led to the Portuguese Colonial War. The conflict lasted almost ten years. In 1974\, the revolution in Portugal restored democracy to the country and led to a change in attitude over overseas territories such as Mozambique. \nFRELIMO took control of Maputo\, the capital\, in April 1974 in a coup. Independence for Mozambique was officially declared just over a year later on June 25th 1975. \n  \nSource : https://www.officeholidays.com/holidays/mozambique/mozambique-independence-day

SUMMARY:Windrush Day - UK
DESCRIPTION:Windrush Day – UK\nWindrush Day is celebrated in the United Kingdom every year on June 22. The day marks the arrival of Afro-Caribbean immigrants to the shores of Britain and honors the British Caribbean community. \nThousands of men\, women and children moved from the Caribbean to the UK in the 1950s\, 60s and 70s. These individuals are known as the Windrush Generation after one of the ships that sailed from the Caribbean to England in 1948\, the MV Empire Windrush.  An estimated half a million people made their way to England after the Second World War. The first Windrush Day was held on June 22\, 2018\, after a successful campaign led by Patrick Vernon. Since then\, more and more people have started participating in Windrush Day celebrations and observations to show empathy with the hardships that the previous generations of Black Britons endured and the current generations continue to endure. \n2024\nEach year on 22 June Royal Museums Greenwich partners with the Caribbean Social Forum and other local partners to showcase Caribbean culture and the legacy of the Windrush generation in the UK today. A new addition for 2024 is the National Windrush Museum\, who will contribute a co-curated series of performances as part of the festival. \nThis year the Windrush Day Festival will take over the grounds outside the Queen’s House and National Maritime Museum\, with a range of exciting activities including talks\, games\, spoken word performances\, and a Caribbean-owned food and craft market. \nSee the full programme below. \nThis event is part of the Great Greenwich Windrush Trail\, a series of events taking place across the borough of Greenwich to celebrate Windrush Day. \nToday\, we celebrate Windrush Day\, a day to honor the British Caribbean community and their contributions to the UK. They made an indelible impact on Britain’s culture\, rebuilt the country post-WWII\, and notably aided the establishment of the National Health Service. Did you know that the day is named after the MV Empire Windrush\, the ship that brought the first large group of Caribbean migrants to the UK in 1948? \nTo commemorate this day\, we encourage everyone to take a moment to learn more about the rich and diverse Caribbean culture. We will be hosting a virtual lunch and learn session where we will share stories and experiences from the Windrush generation. \nAdditionally\, we invite you to share a Caribbean recipe or story on our internal social media platform. This is a great way to engage and learn from each other\, regardless of where we are located. \n  \nSources:\n–https://nationaltoday.com/windrush-day/\n–https://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/national-maritime-museum/windrush-day#\n–https://library.changeengine.com/moments/windrush-day-all-employees\n  \n  \nPlease support organizations impacting the Black community in the UK:\n100 Black Men of London\nBLAM Charity\nAfrican Caribbean Medical Mentors\nUnited We Rise UK

SUMMARY:Black Mental Health Professionals Day
DESCRIPTION:  \nBlack Mental Health Professionals Day\nAs a day of recognition to honor all the dedicated Mental Health Professionals that help light the way to joy in the Black Community\, June 4th will forever be associated with the concept that JOY is an essential part of resilience. \nNational Black Mental Health Professionals Day is dedicated to celebrating the mental health professional and advocates who have provided culturally competent mental healthcare to the Black community during unprecedented times. \nWe have a crisis of Black mental health in America. Long before Covid-19 brought an added wave of loss\, anxiety\, and isolation\, African Americans were less likely to have access to culturally competent mental healthcare. The American Psychological Association tells us that African Americans are 7.3 times as likely to live in high poverty neighborhoods with limited to no access to mental health services. Black therapists — who comprise just 2% of all psychologists in the US today — report that they feel overburdened and unable to meet the needs of their community. \nNational Black Mental Health Professionals Day \n \n

SUMMARY:Guyana Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Guyana Independence Day\nGuyana Independence Day is observed on May 26. The public holiday commemorates Guyana’s independence from the British on May 26\, 1966. The celebrations feature traditional food\, arts\, and a music festival\, featuring fashion shows\, music\, food\, dance\, and other cultural activities. On the eve of Independence Day\, there is a flag-raising ceremony at Durban Park\, followed by a presidential address to the nation. In addition\, concerts\, performances\, and a fireworks display are held at midnight to usher in the special day. \nHISTORY OF GUYANA INDEPENDENCE DAY\nIn pre-colonial Guyana\, the country was populated by nine indigenous tribes\, including the Akawaio\, Macushi\, Waiwai\, Arawak\, Patamona\, Warrau\, Carib\, Wapishana\, and Arekuna. However\, the most dominant were the Lokono and Kalina. In 1498\, Christopher Columbus became the first known European to sight Guyana during his voyage. In 1581\, the Dutch began establishing several colonies\, including Pomeroon in 1581\, Essequibo in 1616\, Berbice in 1627\, and Demerara in 1752. Between 1792 and 1815\, during the French Napoleonic wars and revolutionary wars\, the French occupied the country. In 1796\, the British took over and in 1814\, the areas of Demerara\, Berbice\, and Essequibo were ceded to them by the Dutch. In 1831\, the united colonies of Demerara-Essequibo and Berbice became a colony known as British Guiana. \nDuring the 1830s\, the British finally abolished the slave trade in the country. In 1953\, they also established a new constitution granting universal adult suffrage\, a ministerial system\, and a bicameral legislature. Though the constitution was suspended the same year as a result of the election of a seemingly pro-communist political leader\, it was restored in 1957. A new coalition government formed by the Indo-Guyanese party and the Afro-Guyanese party was formed around 1964. Then\, on May 26\, 1966\, the colony of British Guiana declared its independence under the new name ‘Guyana.’ \nGuyanese Independence Day is one of the most important national holidays in the country. It not only commemorates a momentous day in history but is also a representation of the Guyanese cultural heritage. The week-long celebration begins with a two-day Guyana Food\, Arts\, and Music Festival\, featuring fashion shows\, music\, food\, dance\, and other cultural activities.

SUMMARY:Period Poverty Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:Period Poverty Awareness Week 2024\nThe Alliance for Period Supplies created Period Poverty Awareness Week to draw attention to the issue of period poverty and the negative impact it has on people who menstruate. \nWe encourage everyone to join the movement and become advocates to help #endperiodpoverty – start a conversation about period poverty\, host a virtual product drive\, donate to the Alliance for Period Supplies or a local program\, or do one of many other things\, from right at home. \n\n\nWhat is period poverty?\n\n\n\n\nHalf of the population menstruates. We all know plenty of people that have a period. But not everyone knows that one in four people struggle to purchase period supplies due to lack of income. This is called period poverty\, and chances are we each know someone who has experienced this need — a neighbor\, a co-worker\, a friend. \nNo student should have to miss school\, no adult should have to miss work\, and no person should have to miss out on daily life because they are unable to afford the material basic necessities they require to thrive. \nAlliance for Period Supplies is a national organization working to ensure that individuals in need have access to the essential period products required to participate fully in daily life. With your support\, and that of our founding sponsor U by Kotex®\, we are improving lives. \n\nWhy Should We Care?\n\nThe study also uncovered how period poverty is disproportionately impacting Black and Latina people\, as well as how COVID-19 exasperated this public health issue. Key findings include:\n\nA quarter of Black (23%) and Latina (24%) people with periods strongly agree that they’ve struggled to afford period products in the past year.\n27% of all respondents said the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult to access period products\, with two-thirds (65%) of those who have struggled stating they lacked access because they could not afford them.\nOver one-third (38%) of low-income women report missing work\, school or similar events due to lack of access to period supplies.\nNearly seven in ten (68%) people agree that period poverty is a public health issue\, yet only 4% of Americans are aware of a local resource where free or reduced cost period supplies are available.\n\n\n\nSource: https://allianceforperiodsupplies.org/ppaw/ \n\nPlease support organization working toward ending Period Poverty in the Black Community: \nATLANTA GLOW \n

SUMMARY:African World Heritage Day
DESCRIPTION:African World Heritage Day\nProclaimed by the 38th session of the General Conference of UNESCO (November 2015)\, African World Heritage Day (5 May) is an opportunity for people around the world\, and particularly Africans\, to celebrate the Continent’s unique cultural and natural heritage. \nWhile Africa is underrepresented on the World Heritage List (African properties account for some 12% of all inscribed sites worldwide)\, a disproportionally high percentage (39%) of these properties are on the World Heritage List in Danger. Faced with various contemporary threats\, such as climate change\, uncontrolled development\, poaching\, civil unrest and instability\, many of Africa’s wonders risk losing their outstanding universal value.  It is therefore more urgent than ever that this irreplaceable heritage be protected and preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. \nSource: https://www.unesco.org/en/days/african-world-heritage \n  \nPlease consider all the organizations that are working to elevate the black Community on the African continent:\nClick here to see the full list \nFeatured Organization:\nCentre for Sustainable Access to Health in Africa – Nigeria\nHand In Hand – Eastern Africa – Kenya\nThe Good Vine – Eswatini\n  \n
