Celebrating Black History Month

Statement

Each February, we celebrate American diversity with a particular focus on the contributions of the African American community to our nation. We recommit ourselves to promoting the fundamental values of equality and fairness. And we strive to build a brighter future for all.

Our celebration of Black History Month this year is made even more vibrant with the newly dedicated Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial in Washington D.C. Now, Dr. King stands on an axis of leadership between Presidents Lincoln and Jefferson; this is as a testament to strength and determination, not only of an individual, but of an entire community.
