The news surrounding the tragic death of Tyre Nichols on the heels of mass murders in California cast a veil of solemnity on the advent of Black History Month. These events touch everyone in our nation and illustrate that our work to advance human dignity and realize the equality for which we all strive is still a glimmer on the horizon. But it is and always has been achievable.

I?ve always professed that I am a work in progress. So are you. And so is our country. In recognition of Black History Month, let?s commit to doing our part to help our nation come together as the great nation we aspire to be. That includes actions we can take in our workplaces, as well as in our everyday lives. I will never tire of saying that when we help others, when we offer them an opportunity to have their voices heard, then we very much help ourselves. We build community. And that makes us stronger and better, whether it is at work, in our neighborhoods, or as citizens of our aspiring nation. Helping others is a tangible way for us to come together and to build a more perfect nation, community, and workplace.?
