FEBRUARY IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Though we may not fully realize it, the history that played out before we were born has impacted our lives today—how we relate to other people, where we live, what we do, what we believe.
Let’s honor the Black heritage that continues to refine us, pointing us to goodness and justice.
