As we celebrate Black History Month, we honor the resilience, brilliance, and contributions of Black leaders, activists, and pioneers who have paved the way for progress. But we also recognize that the fight for justice and equality is ongoing. In today's climate, we continue to face systemic challenges that impact Black communities—issues in leadership, policy decisions, and social justice. Now more than ever, we must remain informed, engaged, and committed to advocating for meaningful change. Let’s use this month not only to reflect on history but to fuel the movement forward. Change happens when we stand together. #BlackHistoryMonth?#HonorThePast?#ShapeTheFuture?#StayEngaged?#MCCRUnited?#MarylandStrong
