“Arab Americans are a part of Michigan’s proud, diverse history and future,” said Governor Whitmer. “This month, we celebrate the immeasurable contributions to Michigan’s culture and economy that our Arab American friends and neighbors have made. Together, let’s honor their achievements, reflect on their history, and recommit to building a Michigan where everyone can thrive.”
“Michigan’s Arab American population has helped weave the diverse and resilient fabric of our state,” said Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II. “Their accomplishments have shaped our state and nation in countless ways, enriching our communities and driving progress. As we celebrate Arab American Heritage Month, let’s honor their achievements and stand tall for a Michigan where every person can reach their full potential and be their best selves.”
