The Board is requested to issue a proclamation celebrating Pride Month for June 2025 in Durham County. The purpose of the proclamation is to acknowledge and honor Pride Month, bringing awareness and celebration to the experiences and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community in Durham County. Pride Month, celebrated nationally in June, commemorates the 1969 Stonewall uprising, a pivotal moment in the LGBTQIA+ rights movement in the United States. We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity, diversity, and understanding within Durham County. Together, we strive to acknowledge, learn from, and appreciate the diverse narratives that shape our collective history.
