In Honor of Black History Month: The Work is Not Yet Done

2023-02-08T12:17:14-08:00

This year marks 404 years since the first enslaved person disembarked onto American soil, 158 years since the abolishment of slavery, 156 years since Independence Day for enslaved people, and 57 years since the ending of Jim Crow.
