We're Still Celebrating! Blackbaud Celebrates Black History Month

Published

Here at Blackbaud, the celebration continues for Black History Month 2020. Today you’ll hear from a few more of our amazing employees sharing their sentiments around what Black History Month means to them!

If you’re just tuning in, at Blackbaud, we’re Celebrating Black History Month in North America and we’re excited to share this celebration with you! We know that everyone has a story and that the diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences of our employees make us a better team. Every year, in February in the US and Canada, we celebrate Black History by highlighting achievements of African Americans and Black Canadians for their contributions from innovations to arts to politics.

As Black History Month continues this February, we remember the achievements of African Americans and Black Canadians throughout history and celebrate the unforgettable impacts these achievements have made on our culture.

All month long we’ll be posting videos and quotes of Blackbaud employees sharing what Black History Month means to them. Click the video below to hear from Cynthia Brunson, HR business Partner and read quotes from several other Blackbaud employees.

Love that this celebration is still happening! These statements are so powerful! "Black history is world history" and "It's a time to consider what my contribution to our history will ultimately be." So. TRUE.
