Learning & Celebrating

This year,  Black History Month will explore the theme of African Americans and Labor, celebrating the diverse roles Black people have played in the labor market from enslaved workers to modern entrepreneurs and executives. The theme underscores the way in which labor - voluntary or involuntary, skilled or unskilled, has been at the core of the Black experience. It presents an opportunity to learn more about the Black contribution to the economic systems of this country from the agricultural labor of enslaved Africans to the prosperous establishment of Black Wall Street.
