“We are excited for the tremendous impact that the new Community Resilience Center will have in South Los Angeles. With a generous $10 million funding from the California Strategic Growth Council, we will establish the first of its kind Resilience Center in the most under-resourced area of Los Angeles County. This intentional space will not only provide shelter and resources during climate and other emergencies, but it will also foster community empowerment, offering a comprehensive array of programs and services informed by and for the local community. It represents a significant step in expediting recovery efforts and building resilience among the Black and Brown communities in South Los Angeles.”

As we embark on the month of February, we proudly embrace and celebrate Black History Month. This annual observance is a dedicated time to recognize, honor, and amplify the incredible achievements, contributions, and resilience of African Americans throughout history.

Black History Month, originally established as "Negro History Week" in 1926 by historian Carter G. Woodson, was later expanded to a month-long celebration in 1976. It serves as a time to acknowledge the pivotal role African Americans have played in shaping the fabric of our nation. Beyond recognizing the triumphs and successes, it's also an opportunity to confront the challenges and adversities faced by the Black community and work towards a more just and equitable future.

Black History Month is not only a tribute to the past but a call to action for the present and the future. It is a reminder that history is a living, evolving story, shaped by the ongoing contributions of individuals and communities. This month prompts us to explore, learn, and appreciate the diverse narratives that have often been overlooked or marginalized.

It is a time to celebrate diversity and unity, fostering understanding and respect among all races and ethnicities. By acknowledging the accomplishments and struggles of the Black community, we collectively strive for a more inclusive society that values the richness of every individual's story.

As we commemorate Black History Month, we extend warm wishes to everyone. May this month be a time of reflection, education, and appreciation for the cultural tapestry woven by the Black community. Let us all actively engage in conversations, events, and initiatives that promote unity, equality, and justice.

St. Jonh’s Community Health Committed to Black Wellness and Health would like to wish you a Happy Black History Month! May it inspire us to work together towards a future where the contributions of every individual are recognized and celebrated, ensuring a more equitable and harmonious world for generations to come.
