Celebrating Black History in the Midst of a Public Health Crisis
Jeanne C. Tedrow, President & CEO, North Carolina Center for Nonprofits
This year, we celebrate Black History Month as we look to the future and hope for this pandemic to pass. With focus on the COVID-19 vaccine and the hope it brings to our communities, it is noteworthy that one of the first people to introduce the practice of inoculation to America was Onesimus, an enslaved Black man from the Massachusetts colony.
