February Is Black History Month
Winslow Mason Reflects
CAAP's Strategic Change Senior Director
"Black History month means more than recognizing the contributions of African Americans. It’s also a time to recognize the richness of America’s racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity. It’s a time for us to celebrate the uniqueness that each of us brings to develop a fair, just, and equitable world. CAAP supports this and strives for equity and fairness in all endeavors."
