In February we celebrate Black History Month, reflecting on the progress, richness, and diversity of Black achievements. Although February has been designated as the official month to celebrate Black history, every day is an occasion to highlight the monumental significance of contributions by the Black community and the vital role they have played in shaping America's and Indiana’s history.
This year, we’re raising our fists to BLACK WOMEN ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿. All month long, we’ll recognize Black leaders, businesses, and host various crucial discussions about the power of our Black community.
