Black History. It’s more than just a month

In October's waning light, we reflect and see,

Black History Month, a call for unity.
Yet know, it's not a chapter bound by �me,

But an ongoing quest, a mountain we must con�nue to climb.

Events and ac�ons, across the land we've sown,

Listening, learning, understanding, we've grown.

We cherish courageous conversa�ons about race,

In books and courses, we've found our place.

Networks united to make the change,

Enhancing BHM, we rearrange.

Blogs and poems, on our digital stage,

We share our voices, in this modern age.

As October fades, a new journey begins,

To batle microaggressions, where discrimina�on spins.
Culturally competent courses, we shall employ,

To empower allies and HR with a heart full of joy.

For subtle acts of exclusion, we will stand tall,

Suppor�ng those who have faced the workplace's thrall.

Trauma healed, with empathy and grace,

Together, we stride, embracing this race.

So let us celebrate the end of BHM's sway,

With a promise to con�nue, each and every day.

In the fight against discrimina�on, we will persist,

For unity and jus�ce, on this path we insist.
