Whereas: generations of immigrants from every corner of the globe have built our country's
economy and created the unique character of our nation; and
Whereas: immigrants continue to grow businesses, innovate, strengthen our economy, and
create American jobs in Lexington, Massachusetts; and
Whereas: immigrants have provided the United States with unique social and cultural
influence, fundamentally enriching the extraordinary character of our nation; and
Whereas: immigrants have been tireless leaders not only in securing their own rights and
access to equal opportunity, but have also campaigned to create a fairer and more
just society for all Americans; and
Whereas: despite these countless contributions, the role of immigrants in building and
enriching our nation has frequently been overlooked and undervalued throughout
our history and continuing to the present day.
NOW, THEREFORE, WE, THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN of the Town of Lexington,
Massachusetts, do hereby proclaim the month of June 2019 as:
.immigrant Heritage Month
in the Town of Lexington and call upon all citizens to join us in celebrating our country's
immigrant heritage - stories of individuals, families and communities who have contributed to
the unique social fabric of a country whose greatness is fueled by its diversity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have set our hands and caused the seal of Lexington to be affixed
herewith on the 20th of May 2019.
