This Black History Month, we celebrate the theme "Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build."   As we embark on Black History Month, it's a time to honor the invaluable contributions, resilience, and achievements of the Black community. This month serves not only as a reminder of the remarkable individuals who have shaped history but also as a call to action for continued progress towards equality and justice. Let's take this opportunity to amplify Black voices, recognize their leadership, and celebrate their cultural richness. From groundbreaking innovations to profound cultural influences, Black history is woven into the very fabric of our society, enriching us all.   From historic trailblazers to modern-day leaders, Black excellence knows no bounds. Let's celebrate the past, embrace the present, and work together to build a future where Black excellence shine brighter than ever.   #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence #FutureBuilders

Black History Month is a time to spotlight and celebrate the honorable contributions, achievements, and culture of Black Americans and their communities. However, these efforts should be applied year-round. Fortunately, at DeVry, we can lean into our business resource groups, including the Association of Black Colleagues (ABC), to enable continuous learning by going deeper into discussions and making meaningful connections. From my perspective, as a collective – organizations, businesses, and society as a whole – can acknowledge and support the significance of Black History beyond the month of February. #BlackHistoryMonth Learn more here: https://devry.ly/3T3PCcn

As we step into Black History Month, let's celebrate the immeasurable impact of Black excellence across every sphere of society. From the inventive genius of Garrett Morgan, who gifted us the traffic light, to the poetic prowess of Maya Angelou, whose words traverse the landscape of the human soul, the contributions of Black individuals have been both profound and transformative. Innovation in science and technology, spirited narratives in arts and literature, groundbreaking achievements in sports, and pioneering leadership in business—each domain is rich with stories of resilience, creativity, and perseverance. Figures like George Washington Carver, Serena Williams, and Madam C.J. Walker are not just icons of Black history; they are pillars of our collective human journey. This month let's not only reflect on the past achievements but also ignite conversations about inclusivity, equality, and the ongoing contributions of Black professionals in our industries. Their legacy is a beacon that lights our way forward, reminding us that our strength lies in diversity, our progress in unity. #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityInIndustry #Innovation #Resilience #Excellence

As we kick off Black History Month, we're reminded of the invaluable contributions, resilience, and cultural richness of the African American community. This month isn't just about looking back; it's about recognizing the journey, the struggles, and the ongoing pursuit of justice and equity. Although it is a time to celebrate, it is also crucial to acknowledge the disparities that persist in homeownership for Black Americans. Despite progress, Black homeownership rates in America still lag behind other groups, a reflection of historic injustices and discriminatory practices. Let's continue to advocate for fair housing policies, support initiatives that promote economic empowerment, and work towards a future where everyone has equal opportunities to achieve homeownership and financial security. Join us in honoring the past, celebrating the present, and shaping a more inclusive and equitable future for all. Together, we can make history. https://lnkd.in/gNB2aJ4G

Today marks the first day of Black History Month. Recognizing and celebrating both the historical and current contributions of Black People in our communities, and in the FDR field, is something we must aspire to do every day. We must be intentional about creating space for Black voices and amplifying the experiences of the individuals we work with and the families that we serve. By doing this, we not only deepen our understanding of one another, but we create greater opportunity for connection and collective growth. Black History Month allows us an opportunity to pause, reflect, learn, unlearn and expand our knowledge of what it means to move toward a just and equitable society.
