The Diversity and Inclusivity group strives to intentionally raise awareness and knowledge in regards to the various diverse contributors to American History. Beginning this year, we will be using the national monthly celebrations to highlight all cultural communities. The month of February is an annual national celebration of achievements by African Americans and a pivotal time for recognizing their humanity as well as their central role in United States history.
