Community, Nonprofits and Businesses sharing Information
America has been enriched by the indomitable spirit, resilience and hard work of so many of its black citizens. Yes, we are aware that America has been enriched by all of its citizens; however, not all of America's citizens lived - no, existed under the same circumstances.
