Forty-four years after the recognition of Black History Month, Black Americans still experience systemic racism, injustice, and stereotyping. Understanding the foundations of systemic racism and implicit bias and acknowledging their effects on Black Americans and communities of color is the first step toward change.
During Black History Month, join The Hill for a series of conversations with government, civil rights and social justice leaders to understand race and racism, the conditions that perpetuate inequality, and why this moment could serve as a catalyst to help us unite and build a better nation.
