Race Amity Day is an annual event celebrated on the second Sunday of June. It was established in the United States to promote understanding, respect, and cooperation among people of different races and cultures. Race Amity Day encourages people to come together and celebrate the diversity within our communities. It is a day to honor the progress made toward racial harmony and to recognize that there is still work to achieve greater racial equality. The celebration of Race Amity Day is meant to inspire people to build bridges of understanding and friendship between different racial and ethnic groups and to work towards a future where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.

Race Amity Day was created in response to the history of racial conflict and tension in the United States. It is a day to celebrate the progress made toward racial equality and to recognize that there is still work to achieve greater racial harmony.

The celebration of Race Amity Day is meant to inspire people to come together and celebrate the diversity within their communities. In addition, it is an opportunity for people to learn about the experiences and cultures of others and to work towards a future where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
