[BFASA] BFASA BHM Events

[Chanel Parrish]

Hi BFASA Family,



Happy Black History Month!

[cid:image002.jpg at 01D6FB12.4699B570]



As we all know, the celebration of Black history should not be confined to a just these 28 days a year, but it should always be a constant celebration and admiration of our history, our ancestors, our achievements, and our strength. I hope we all take time this month….and next month….and every month to celebrate each other and our greatness.
