“The story of Black History Month begins in Chicago during
the summer of 1915…”
Black history month is the recounting of who we have proven to be in the most harsh, extraordinary, and unforgiving of times and environments. This proof helped create America, its armor and sword, its wealth, its culture, and the very foundation on which it all rests.
As the sun sets on black history month, I’d like to encourage you to continue the celebration throughout 2021 by supporting black achievements, businesses, initiatives, and community efforts.
