Each February we recognize Black History Month as a time to honor Black culture, community, and contributions throughout American history. Our nation, AFGE, and the labor movement have been led by the important work, passion, intelligence, and advocacy of Black leaders and activists. Black history is American history – and AFGE history. Our union is using this month to honor that contribution and continue to stand in solidarity with our Black union family.
This year AFGE’s Women and Fair Practices Departments (WFP) and our constituency group, AFGE B.L.A.C.K., have planned events throughout the month of February. Join us and celebrate our union siblings!
