Elmont Online - Highlighting Success, Inc Black History Month Celebration.
"One of the reasons we meet each year for this celebration is to bear witness to the lives of the individuals we honor past and present. They may be sitting to your left or to your right, in front of or behind you – we know these individuals and it is our mission, in part, to ensure that their contributions are not lost in the public discourse."
