Yet Again, *No Irish Need Apply* at the Smitsonian - #IrishAmericanHeritageMonth
The #Smithsonian actively celebrates five heritage Months:
#BlackHistoryMonth
#AsianPacificAmericanHeritage Month
#HispanicHeritageMonth
#AmericanIndianHeritageMonth
*Why is a heritage that has provided 9 signers of the Declaration of Independence, that has distinguished itself in defense of this country in every war, that has contributed to government, education and industry not recognized?*
Please consider contacting the Smithsonian at Fax: 202.633.5489 or Email: learning@si.edu and tell them that it is time to end “No Irish Need Apply” at the Smithsonian and recognize the contributions of #Irish Americans on par with the Heritages that the Smithsonian currently celebrates
If you are thinking.. "I am not Irish, so what is the big deal and #IrishAmericanHeritageMonth?"
Ask yourself #WhitePeople, "What do you have?" And what kind of country do you live in, that you can't have it or celebrate it, or even have it publicly acknowledged? *Despite the fact that it is an Executive Order, and 5 other groups have a month*
