Black History Month

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. We at SBSAS embrace this annual opportunity to focus on Black History and to glean from it what we can to help Black Survivors of sexual assault and violent crime in our community.
