1/31/2014
Hi Lynne,
I stopped by your office a couple months ago with my mother, Nila Karim, regarding a proposal to formally
recognize International Mother Language Day in the Town of Lexington. The following is the proposal me and my
brother have written up. Please let me know if you have any comments or amendments you would recommend to
make before presenting the proposal to the Board of Selectmen. Thank you so much and hope to hear from you
soon.
To Whom It May Concern:
The first official recognition of February 21st as International Mother Language Day was proclaimed in
November of 1999 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in order to
“promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by people of the world” (1). This day has been
observed in remembrance of the Bangladesh Language Movement of 1952 and pay tribute to those Bangladeshi
students who gave their lives in order to gain the right to speak their native tongue.
On a global scale, the recognition of International Mother Language Day sheds light on the importance of
cultural preservation and acceptance in the world, fostering both peace and freedom of speech. In a town where the
value of diversity is prominent and of utmost importance, the formal recognition of 21st of February as International
Mother Language Day would be befitting for our town. According to the US census released in 2011, the general
population of Lexington has increased 3.4 percent while the percentage of minorities has risen to 26.3 percent within
the last decade. The growth of culture and diversity within the Lexington population demonstrates how relevant and
important the acknowledgement of Mother Language Day would be in our community.
My younger brother, Zahin, and I are both first generation Americans born to Bangladeshi parents and are
multilingual, speaking three languages each, including Bangla, mother tongue of Bangladesh with fluency.
We believe the preservation of language is an important aspect in society today. Acknowledging the value
and celebrating culture through formal recognition of February 21st as International Mother Language day will be a
historic event in a town as culturally enlightened as Lexington.
We hope you consider this proposal and formally recognize 21st of February as International Mother
Language Day in Lexington. We will appreciate your kind consideration. Thank you.
Regards,
Zahin and Noha Ahmed

and members of the Subcommittee
SUBJECT:
Report of 20/20 Vision’s Subcommittee on Demographic Change
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Dan Krupka, chair, and members of the Demographic Change Subcommittee will report on that
group’s recent study.
In March, 2010 the 20/20 Vision Committee’s Demographic Change Task Force (DCTF)
reported on the dramatic change in racial composition and substantial modification of the age
profile that Lexington has been experiencing. The 20/20 Vision Committee formed the
Subcommittee on Demographic Change in 2012 to address the recommendations of the DCTF
with respect to the Asian-American population in Lexington.
The Demographic Change Subcommittee recently concluded an 18-month-long study examining
ways to foster greater participation of Asian residents in town and school committees in an effort
to increase diversity, understanding and inclusion. Specifically, the Subcommittee on
Demographic Change investigated what barriers to civic participation exist and proposed a list of
recommendations for the Town and its Asian organizations to help overcome these barriers.
The report is available on the Town’s website at
