Honoring the Past

Our 2023 Black History Month theme is to Honor the Past, Embrace the Present, and Inspire the Future! This month we will celebrate the contributions and breakthroughs of some of our Black leaders by bringing awarenesses to who they are, and what they did to become part of our history and share our creative keepsake with you in remembrance of how far we have come as a people.   For Honoring our Past, there are hundreds of individuals to choose from.
