Since 1976, Black History Month has served as an opportunity to seek understanding and learn more about the too-often neglected contribution and achievements of Black Americans. Black History Month also provides a platform for individuals to learn more about the effects of racism, and how to build a more equitable and inclusive future.

Join us for an inspirational discussion with three incredible Black leaders who have used their voice to pave the way and advance DEI efforts in our region.
