?Diversity, equality, and inclusion continue to face challenges, with many public and private sectors rolling back DEI initiatives and the observation of cultural milestones. But Black history is American history. While dedicating a month to it isn’t enough, erasing its recognition is a step in the wrong direction. ? So, we’re celebrating contemporary Black leaders; leaders like Lonnie Bunch III, who spearheaded the creation of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. Leaders like Kimberlé Crenshaw, the writer and professor who advocates for a more inclusive world. Leaders like Miriam Jiménez Román, the scholar whose life’s work brought visibility to the Afro-Latino identity. We’re highlighting historically Black places like #Altadena, whose legacy is important to protect. ? In a time of growing pushback, we remain dedicated to celebrating inclusivity. Because when we tell these stories, we reflect a more accurate picture of the world that we live in. And as a multicultural, multisegment agency, that’s what we’re passionate about doing. ?

As inclusivity comes up against new challenges, Orci remains committed to celebrating the stories and achievements of diverse communities. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re exploring key themes vital to how we respect and represent these communities. We’re highlighting Black leaders and groups who inspire and amplify these values. This week, we’re focusing on the importance of preserving Black history, starting with historian and educator Lonnie G. Bunch III. Inspired by discovering a book on Black soldiers in WWI as a teen, Bunch has dedicated his life to preserving the stories of everyday people in history. In 2005, he became the founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture—now home to over 40,000 objects and visited by more than 11 million people since it opened in 2016. As the first Black person and historian to serve as the Smithsonian Institution’s secretary, Bunch continues to prove that preserving Black history creates a fuller, more inclusive narrative—one that reflects the rich and complex story of America, the world, and ourselves.

"There's a lot of consumer segments that I represent in my everyday job, including the Hispanic and queer community, that are going to be negatively impacted by this [new administration]." – @Diego Andrade, Orci On Day 3 of the new presidential administration, Do The WeRQ hosted our first Town Hall of 2025, "What the New Presidential Administration Means for Adland."
