Establish Local-Designated for Two Holidays Which Have Federal Recognition/Designation
The Commission of Diversity Awareness (CODA) would like to provide a presentation and discuss support of local-designation of two holidays which have federal recognition or designation. President Obama designated the day after Thanksgiving as “The Native American Heritage Day", Resolution of 2009. In 2021, Juneteenth National Independence Day was designated as a federal holiday. CODA wants to submit a FAIR request for the designation of these holidays by the City and explore possible partnership with the Indigenous Commission. |
