2024 Wasc Report final.pdfGUAM HISTORY AND CHamoru HERITAGE DAY
MARCH 4, 2023
Guam History and Chamorro Heritage Day is a public holiday in Guam on the first Monday in March. It is not a Federal Holiday.
The date commemorates the first European contact when the famous Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan landed on Guam on March 6th 1521.
About History and Chamorro Heritage Day
The original inhabitants of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands were the Chamorro people. They are thought to be descendants of Austronesian people who arrived from Southeast Asia as early as 2000 BC.
The first European to arrive on Guam was Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan. He was sailing on behalf of the King of Spain, when he sighted the island on March 6th 1521, during his fleet's circumnavigation of the globe.

WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH
“Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” MARCH 2024National Women’s History Month traces its roots to March 8, 1857, when women from various New York City factories staged a protest over poor working conditions. The first Women’s Day celebration in the United States was in 1909, also in New York City. More than 7 decades later, Congress in 1981 established National Women’s History Week to be commemorated annually the second week of March in 1981. In 1987, Congress expanded the week to a month. Every year since, Congress has passed a resolution (and the president has issued a proclamation) designating March Women’s History Month.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
FEBRUARY 1 TO MARCH 1, 2024
The theme for Black History Month 2024 focuses on “African Americans and the Arts”. African American art is infused with African, Caribbean, and the Black American lived experiences. In the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary and other forms of cultural expression, the African American influence has been paramount. African American artists have used art to preserve history and community memory as well as for empowerment. Artistic and cultural movements such as the New Negro, Black Arts, Black Renaissance, hip-hop, and Afrofuturism, have been led by people of African descent and set the standard for popular trends around the world. In 2024, we examine the varied history and life of African American arts and artisans.
“No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater…The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”
This Lullaby, by Sarah Dessen
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!
Cheers to a fresh start and a year full of exciting possibilities!
