Happy Black History Month,
John!
Today, we’re taking time to celebrate and reflect on aspects of Black
history you may not be familiar with and the accomplishments of Black
leaders and figures whose contributions have made our country a more
equitable one to live in.
Whether you have a few moments or a few hours, this month and beyond, we
invite you to learn more about the multifaceted and diverse experiences
that come with being Black in the United States.

As we kick off February, we are reminded that Black history is American
history every single day — and not just limited to one month of the year.
