I bet you didn't know that June is Caribbean American Heritage Month.   Invited by the Roberts we attended the Caribbean American Heritage Month Kickoff Reception at Orlando City Hall sponsored by the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and Caribbean American Passport Magazine.  Numerous Caribbean associations with samples of foods from their Island countries.  We had a great time. Notables: Cicely Tyson, Gen. Colin Powell, Sir Sidney Poitier, Jean Baptiste du Sable, Jim Russworm, Claude McKay, Malcolm X,  Gov. David Patterson,  Hon. Shirley Chisholm, Dr. Muriel Pettioni. all have Caribbean roots.
