As we close out Black History Month, I wanted to share that Blacks In Governments puts its money where its mouth is in support of black history being taught and spoken about 365 days of the year by becoming a corporate sponsor for Carter G. Woodson’s Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). With our History Makers corporate sponsorship donation, we show our mutual desire to continue Carter G. Woodson’s legacy of ensuring that Black history is more than just a negligible part of American history. In return for our sponsorship, the BIG logo now appears on ASALH website, our NTI Tampa 2024 ad appeared in their souvenir journal, and a contingent of National BIG leaders attended their first in-person return to their longstanding Black History Month luncheon and author’s pavilion. I was joined at the luncheon by National AE/EEO Chair Marcus Artis, National Finance Chair Honorable Rochelle Bryant, National Protocol Administrator LaShan Haynes, National Membership Chair Jerry Jackson, National Legal Review Chair Aditya McDuffy, Esq., National Agency Forums Coordinator Jozetta Robinson, National NOW Generation Chair Alesia Smith, National NTI Deputy Chair Melinda Deloatch Speight, and Head of Security William Speight. BIG Region XI Director Michael McCrimmons attended separately with his fraternity brothers of Omega Psi Phi as they donated $20,000 to ASALH in recognition of their fraternity brother Woodson. |
