This month is Black History Month, so Diversity and Culture Club would like to take the time to appreciate those who made an impact on our world. A man who once said, "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree with no roots." Marcus Josiah Garvey knew that people, especially black people, who didn't know their history would become lost. He was an amazing African man who fought and urged black Americans to be proud of their identity. He also created the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). This organization founded by Marcus Garvey, was dedicated to racial pride, economic self-sufficiency, and the formation of an independent Black nation in Africa. Thank you for celebrating Black History Month with us and please keep learning.
