Multicultural Month has only been recently recognized and celebrated, but it was first celebrated in April of 2004. The United States is a prime example of a modern multicultural society, with more than 350 languages and nearly 1,500 race and ethnicity groups. We invite everyone to find ways to unite in humanity and find strength in diversity.
Celebrate with us by adding our Zoom background during your meetings between April 1 through April 30
