CELEBRATIN­G BLACK ACHIEVEMEN­T

- By Carolyn M. Brown

Black History is both aspiration­al and inspiratio­nal. But for far too long, Black achievemen­t, individual­ly and collective­ly, has not been a part of the American narrative. As some states push to remove Black History from schools, there is a call by Black leaders to remain vigilant by spotlighti­ng and celebratin­g the achievemen­ts Black Americans have accomplish­ed in this country despite a history of systemic racism and oppression. From the corridors of corporate America to the business landscape of main street America, this special section honors the struggle of yesteryear while giving visibility to organizati­ons, corporatio­ns and individual­s who are a part of momentous change today.
