WR’s Black History Quiz – Continue the Learning!

Black History Month is an invitation to grow our knowledge of Black history, find new role models, and identify parts of the narrative that we’ve missed.  Although it goes without saying that Black history is something we should strive to celebrate all year round, Black History Month is a special occasion to seek out new knowledge and hear some amazing stories.  In fact, there is even a story behind Black History Month being celebrated in February. This month was chosen in honor of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass whose birthdays are in February. In this vein, WR Immigration created a Black History Quiz this year to challenge our employees, colleagues, and friends to test their knowledge of Black history on a range of topics including accomplishments in literature, politics, music, sports, and more.

Black History Month is the beginning, not the end, of the celebration.  Check out our corporate responsibility page for DEIA news in immigration or follow our social media pages for new ways to engage.
