Senator Shawn Michael Malone Sponsored Act 6802 in 2006, which set aside every March as Virgin Islands History Month

“I remain a strong advocate for the promotion and preservation of Virgin Islands culture and each March we have an opportunity to revisit the people and events that have shaped our Territory,” Malone said. “Parents, educators and culture bearers should take this opportunity to teach our children about our history. Local history provides many noteworthy role models. Sharing this information instills a sense of pride in our young people and helps them to develop a strong foundation for future success.” Malone
