The Community Foundation Celebrates Black History
The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven celebrates Black History Month
The impact of Black history cannot be understood in a single sentence, a single moment, or even a single month. It’s an everyday revelation of the excellence around us.
We know
that everyday Black excellence lives inside mission-driven organizations and
communities throughout all of Greater New Haven.
We see
history being made in our communities as we embrace each other as neighbors —
loving one another, challenging each other and growing together. Even through
a global pandemic, we watch communities envelop each other with care and
commitment to give and support at levels personally meaningful to them.
Black
History Month is about the enduring recognition that the present is as
important as the past. For us, it’s about adopting the highest standards of
continuous improvement to ensure future generations of this community can reap
the benefits of the work we support.
So how can
we honor Black history?
By building an ever more connected, inclusive and equitable community — a community of opportunity and equity — every day of the year.
