February; Black History Month
Each February, MOPH Department of California joins the entire country in celebrating Black History Month. During this month, we celebrate all Black Americans, Purple Heart Recipient and Veterans who have served and sacrificed for this nation in every conflict since the American Revolution.
Black History Month is celebrated each year in February to recognize the significant contributions that Black Americans have made in our nation’s history. It is a time to collectively celebrate racial pride, assess our nation’s commitment to the ideals of freedom, and reflect on and commemorate the struggle for freedom and equality.
