From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – Black History Month

I proudly joined as a co-author and supported ACR 18 to celebrate Black History Month. To truly celebrate this month, we must recognize the racism, discrimination, violence, systematic barriers, and, social and economic disparities experienced by the African-American Community. We must be an ally and stand for their rights. Let’s also take this month to celebrate African-American history, innovation, and contributions that shaped the landscape for both the United States and California. #BlackHistoryMonth
