WCINYP Celebrates Black History Month! |
|
This month (and every month, really) we honor Black History Month and its importance and impact!❤️💚🖤
The resistance lives on even into the 21st century. The Black community continues to mobilize resources and shape social movements with resilience to create a safe space to thrive. This month, we take the time to explore the histories of Black freedom movements—from slavery and abolition to other ongoing struggles for civil and human rights.
As always, with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) (shout-out to our very own Diversity and Inclusion Program) becoming more mainstream in the workplace, celebrating Black History to the fullest is a must! Every employee needs to know they are appreciated, seen, cared about, listened to, and represented.
Here are a few ways you can observe Black History Month (both in & out of the office):
1. Visit a museum/Exhibit
Get out there and see first-hand the American nation's collective historical treasures, or check out this virtual festival! Check out these FREE informative and culturally enriched exhibits by NYC Parks!
2. 👋🏾Hey Practice managers & specialists! Encourage Employees To Learn About Black History at your site
Show your team the many contributions that black people have made to America, and encourage them to learn more. You can find out the story behind how Black History Month came to be and listen to a collection of some of NPR's best podcast episodes and features from across the Black experience in these NPR podcasts!
3. Support Black-Founded Businesses In Your Community
Supporting local black-owned shops makes an impact on others’ lives as well and acknowledges the power of diversity in your community! Here is a list of amazing Black-owned businesses to support in all 5 boroughs of NYC.
4. Donate
Your monetary contribution can help fund programs and pay for legal costs and salaries that keep Black organizations and charities afloat! Look into this list of Black charities here!
