Black History Month May End, But the Legacy Lives On
|
As February comes to a close, we reflect on the powerful stories, achievements, and contributions celebrated throughout Black History Month. This month is a time of learning, honoring trailblazers, and amplifying voices that continue to shape our world.
While February serves as a reminder to honor Black voices and contributions, the conversation doesn’t stop here. Let’s take this moment not as an ending, but as the beginning of a deeper commitment to learning, celebrating, and uplifting Black history all year.
