"Black history is American history. Generations of Black Americans throughout our country's history have worked, struggled, and sacrificed to make our nation a more perfect union," said Senator Booker. "Celebrating Black history means honoring the innumerable contributions Black Americans have made and continue to make, and recognizing the work left to do towards making this a country of liberty and justice for all. I applaud my Senate colleagues for swiftly passing this resolution to celebrate Black History Month."
