Arab American Heritage Month 2025
April is Arab American Heritage Month! It is a time to celebrate and recognize the many ways Arab Americans have helped and continue to shape US society. While it has been observed in various ways since the 1990s, the Arab American Foundation and Arab America began an initiative to have a national Arab American History Month in 2017. Arab American Heritage Month received official recognition from the U.S. State Department in 2021, and President Joe Biden issued statements commemorating it.
