Black History Month and MLK Jr. Day Messages
Email Subject: Celebrating Black History Month
Hi there,
Every February, Americans celebrate Black History Month. This year, we invite you to join us in remembering the accomplishments of black citizens, past and present, which are an integral part of American history.
Whether it’s the deeply-needed activism of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the cultural contributions of authors like Nora Zeale Hurston, or the unprecedented achievements of former President Barack Obama, America owes much to her black citizens.
This month, let the words of Thurgood Marshall remind us that when Americans “...recognize the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.”1

Hi there,
This month, America honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As we look around today, we see manifestations of that legacy in the form of stronger, more diverse communities, in the continued fight for equality, and in the opportunities and relationships that connect those who were once kept separate. While we have come far, there is much more to be done.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day honors Dr. King’s life, his dream, and the values he urged our nation to uphold: racial and social justice, peace, and community. May Dr. King’s enduring dream continue to uplift and transform our lived experience to bring unity and healing to our great nation.
