John,

Black History Month gives us an opportunity to reflect on the substantial contributions African Americans have made to our country.

From innovations in science and medicine to enriching our culture through the arts, athletics, and humanities, African Americans have helped make our country a world leader across so many disciplines and industries.

Black history is American history, and while Black History Month is celebrated during February, Black history, excellence, and influence prevail year-round.

And Black history is ongoing. Right here in Georgia, the attacks on voting rights in African American communities’ are as strong as ever. And African American leaders are still stepping up to fight.

Black history has been forged in the fight to make America’s founding ideals real for all Americans. It is a solemn reminder to us all that democracy is a process, not an achievement, and that our part is a contribution to that continuing fabric of America’s history.

As we highlight the trials endured and triumphs attained by African Americans over the years, let us also actively strive to preserve the greatness of African American legacies, lessons, and landmarks in the present and create an inclusive and more tolerant future.

Sincerely,
Congressman Sanford D. Bishop
