Black History Month Quotes

Every February we celebrate the contributions and legacy of African Americans. The Black experience on American land has been a complicated one: pain, oppression, perseverance and strength.

This Black History Month we pay homage to all those who paved the path for where we are as a society. While continuously fighting to realize the deferred promise of a "More Perfect Union."
