Engaging in Antiracism Work: During Black History Month and Beyond
On-Demand
Virtual
Black History Month is too often approached as a once-a-year opportunity to highlight the contributions of African Americans to American industry, life, and culture. Join us in this webinar where we explore the importance of taking a more antiracist approach to celebrating Black achievement throughout the year.
