of numerous descents, who together make important contributions to our economy and society
through their commitment to numerous professions, commerce, family and the arts; and
WHEREAS, we must foster an interest in the heritage, culture, and history of all peoples and
pass that understanding and knowledge on to the next generation, awakening in every American
community awareness of the quality of the contributions that all types of ethnicity can bring to our
modern American lifestyle.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby join with the State of Michigan in proclaiming February 2000 as Ethnic and Cultural
