February marks the celebration of Black History Month. From the Civil Rights Movement to the impact in arts and culture, join us in acknowledging and uplifting the voices that have shaped our history.

We honor the men, women, and children that stood up to injustice, promoted peace and love, and encouraged the world to embrace the idea that all of us should be treated equally. We are grateful for the contributions and achievements of the Black community.

Again this year, we are asking our Garnet Valley Community members to continue to join us in our annual #BlackHistoryChallenge. Through the month of February, we will highlighting African American pioneers that have left a mark in history and in our lives. We challenge you to share these posts or create posts of your own, highlighting strong African American figures that have inspired you in an effort to continue to educate our communities.
