Day of Honor 2000
Project
Day of Honor for African American
And Other Minority World War II Veterans

(YOUR CITY) NAME DAY OF HONOR GENERAL INFORMATION SHEET

Program 
Description
The Day of Honor project is an organized effort 
to provide a national city by city special event 
honoring African American, Asian American, 
Hispanic American, and Native American World 
War II veterans. The Day of Honor was 
authorized by a historic Joint Resolution of 
Congress on May 23, 2000 "calling upon the 
people of the United States to honor these 
minority veterans with appropriate programs 
and activities." Since that time over one 
hundred cities and towns across the nation 
have been organizing Day of Honor events in 
their localities. The goal is to honor those who 
fought and sacrificed on the battlefield, and 
then fought the injustice of segregation and 
racism at home, and to have them witness the 
dawning of the realization of "E Pluribus Unum" 
– 'Out of Many One' – the American motto for 
which they risked their lives.

The (Your City Name) Day of Honor program 
is also aimed at educating the (Your City 
Name) community and its youth on the 
contributions of African Americans and other 
minorities in World War II. 

The project was created and organized by 
PEVUE, Inc. with the support of the Black 
Filmmakers Hall of Fame and the National 
Association for Black Veterans (NABVETS) 
and the Phelps-Stokes Fund, America's oldest 
operating foundation serving the needs of 
African American, Native Americans, Africans, 
and the rural and urban poor.
