INFOGRAPHIC: April marks celebration of MENA cultures
In 2017, Congress formally recognized April as National Arab American Heritage Month. However, in an effort to recognize the diversity within the region and include those who do not speak Arabic, some communities are instead choosing to recognize the month as Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Cultural Month.
