The month of February has marked the celebration of Black History Month for more than half a century, an observance that highlights the achievements of African Americans. The yearly commemoration might not exist today if it were not for educator and historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson, who devoted most of his life to shining a light on the accomplishments of African Americans throughout history. Known as the Father of Black History, Woodson was motivated by contemporary historians who had tendencies to conceal historical contributions made by African Americans from the history books.

During Black History Month, we pause to salute and reflect on the contributions African-Americans have made to the rich fabric that makes up the United States. There are many untold stories that reveal the best of Americans who stepped up when duty called, broke through barriers, or quietly made their communities better one person at a time.
