Our nation honors Black history every February to show respect and recognition for Black Americans’ rich cultural heritage, achievements, and sacrifices in American history. Being #AllinforKids means creating an inclusive school environment where every student feels safe, welcome and celebrated, regardless of race, gender, ability, zip code, or socioeconomic background. Our work to uplift and support Black students is a continuous effort. We are honored to support the current and future generations of Black leaders and change-makers in America.
While February marks a dedicated time to honor Black history, the richness and impact of Black experiences deserve celebration and recognition all year round. Let’s move beyond a single month and weave Black achievements, voices, and perspectives into the fabric of our everyday lives.
