[#mnrising Dispatch] February 2021This past month we have celebrated Black History in the United States, even as we recognize that 28 days is not enough to begin to recognize the contributions of Black people to the culture, infrastructure, and progress of our nation. That Black history is American history, and that it is not just history, but our present and future. And in 2021, that the only way forward is through, together.
This past month also marked the Lunar New Year with the arrival of the Year of the Metal Ox. The Chinese Zodiac indicates 2021 will be a year where work will be rewarded, for bringing order to family life, and when problems will be solved with a lot of discipline. Wishing you and yours good health, joy, and prosperity at the start of this new year! |
