Local 73 celebrates Black History Month

Black History Month is a time to reflect on the Black community’s contributions to American history and honor the generations of Black Americans who have broken the barriers of racial inequality. Since 1976, Americans have observed Black History Month and celebrated the achievements of Black leaders, scholars, activists, labor, scientists, and more.
