President’s February Blog – Honoring Black History Month
When the UWSWA management team met early in January to discuss Blog topics for each month this year, we decided to aim our February focus on Black History month.
According to the History Chanel website, Black History Month grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month.
