Embracing Inclusive Engagement During Irish American Heritage Month
Irish American Heritage Month, observed every March in the United States, honors the contributions and culture of Irish Americans. The event’s history dates back to 1991 when Congress officially designated March as Irish American Heritage Month. This recognition was meant to celebrate the role of Irish Americans in the development of the United States, from their early struggles upon arriving in America to their contributions in politics, arts, and various fields. In the spirit of inclusive engagement, it’s crucial to approach this celebration with an awareness of the diverse dimensions of identity it encompasses and the sensitivity required to honor it respectfully.
