A heritage month can unite, as long as it celebrates facts over factions. Let’s spotlight contributions without turning celebration into a political debate.

Another month, another division? Why not just celebrate Americans as Americans and skip the identity politics circus? We’re stronger united, not segmented.

If we’re naming months for every group, soon September will need a seat at the table called 'Endless Holidays.' Let’s champion contribution over quotas.

Finally, we’re celebrating the full story — African immigrants didn’t just come here, they helped build here. Heritage months aren’t just candy, they’re history lessons with soul.

This bill’s proof that we can honor ALL the layers of Black excellence — immigrants bring a richness the history books forgot to mention.

Recognizing African immigrant heritage is like adding color to an already bright American tapestry — it’s a win if done authentically, not performatively.

Recognizing African immigrant contributions? About time we patch the narrative and turn up the volume on diverse voices. Inclusion isn’t charity, it’s justice with a trumpet.

Celebrating immigrant heritage sounds nice until it feels like rewriting history to score political points. Focus on unity, not splintering society with new labels.

If history is a buffet, this bill just added a fresh dish — let’s just make sure everyone gets a fair helping, no matter their background.
