WHEREAS, in 1973 Susan Berkowitz-Schwartz MPS, ATR-BC, established All
People's Day®, a multicultural and issue-based holiday program and now a 501 (c)3
nonprofit public charity that helps children, adults, and seniors see and embrace the
beauty of their diversity through the arts and bring about awareness of the unique
attributes in others leading to mutual respect; and
WHEREAS, the theme is "Discovering our Connections" because throughout the
world, and even in our own nation and schools, there have been tragic incidents against
people who are different. All People's Day® addresses this by giving people of all ages and walks of life fun and creative ways to explore positive connections by means of educational programs and festivals that teach about diversity; and
WHEREAS, by the year 2060 European Americans will no longer constitute the
majority of the United States population and people from different cultures will be interacting with one another more often than ever before; and
WHEREAS, the facets to a communal nature of the community are awareness,
understanding, and acceptance.
NOW THEREFORE, I, SHELLY PETROLIA, Mayor of Delray Beach, Florida, on
behalf of the City Commission do hereby proclaim March 23, 2019 as:
ALL PEOPLE'S DA YID
in the City of Delray Beach and urge all residents to appreciate the universal qualities at
our core and the differences that help make us individuals. The ninth annual, free to the
public, All People's Day Diversity Festival will be celebrated on Saturday, March 23, 2019 at Pompey Park.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of
the City of Delray Beach, Florida, to be affixed this 12th day of March 2019.
