Heritage Calendars    

The Federal Research Division — under an Interagency Agreement with the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI), Patrick Air Force Base, Florida — has developed a series of ethnic and women's heritage calendars.

Each of the six calendars has a distinct theme developed in support of DEOMI's mission to enhance leadership and readiness by fostering Equal Opportunity and Equal Employment Opportunity programs and positive human relations through education, training, and research. For each month, a photograph and day-by-day entries highlight the contributions of women and ethnic Americans who have served in the Armed Forces and uniformed services of the United States, including the Coast Guard, the National Guard, the Reserves, and the Public Health Service. A short essay on the highlighted diversity and a bibliography complete each calendar. Although each calendar was developed for a specific year, the entries on people and events are keyed to specific dates in history and can be reused year after year.
