On the Occasion of Black History Month

This February is a leap year, so you’ll have an extra day to #celebrate Black History Month — not that there’s anything to keep you from #celebrating throughout the year. “Throughout our history, Black Americans have never given up on the promise of America,” says a proclamation from the Biden Administration. “Unbowed by the forces of hate and undaunted as they fought for centuries against slavery, segregation and injustice, Black Americans have held a mirror up to our nation, pushing us to live up to our founding ideals. In the process, the vibrancy of Black history and culture has enriched every aspect of American life.” #BlackHistoryMonth
