Under the leadership of Chairman Nasser J. Kazeminy, one of the significant initiatives recently championed by the Ellis Island Honor Society is the introduction of a Day of Respect bill to the United States Congress. The Day of Honor and Respect aims to promote understanding, tolerance, and unity among Americans, transcending cultural, ethnic, and religious differences. The proposed bill seeks to designate a national day, September 17th, dedicated to these values, encouraging individuals and communities to reflect on the importance of mutual respect and the positive impact it has on society.
