February is African American History Month
This month, Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) celebrates February as National African American History Month. The theme for 2013 is "At the Crossroads of Freedom and Equality: The Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington."
The story of African Americans is a narrative of resilience and perseverance, and their accomplishments are not limited to those recorded and retold in American history. National African American History Month is a celebration that provides an opportunity for all Americans to reflect upon the contributions of millions of African Americans to our Nation.
