Happy Black History Month! This month, we recognize the remarkable strength, resilience, and brilliance of Black leaders, educators, activists, and changemakers who have shaped history and continue to inspire generations. Black history is not just a month—it’s a legacy of excellence, innovation, and progress that we celebrate every day. Let’s take this time to reflect, learn, and pay tribute to the elders & ancestors that have paved the way for a better future.
