February is Black History Month, a time to honor the rich history, resilience, and contributions of Black communities. This year’s theme, "African Americans and Labor," highlights the historic and continual contributions of the Black community to drive industries and pave the way for all future generations. During this year’s Black History Month we want to create a better sense of belonging and spaces where we uplift, inspire, and create a space for all members of our community to reflect on this history to better our workplaces of tomorrow.
