Youth Empowered to Prosper?

February is Black History Month,

a celebration of the lives and historic contributions of Black Americans. While we champion the great impact on American history and successes had by Black adults, we must remember to celebrate our Black youth. Remember that we, as caring adults, have the opportunity to co-create solutions and spaces that best serve Black youth and recognize the impression they will leave on our country generation after generation. Join the movement to empower all people.
