February 2024

February is not just a month on the calendar; it’s a time to honor the rich tapestry of Black history and celebrate the contributions of African Americans who have shaped our world. At Academy of Hope in Washington, D.C., we recognize the profound connection between Black History Month and the transformative power of adult education. This month, we take a moment to reflect on the intersection of these two pillars and the positive impact they can have on individual lives, lifelong learning, and our community.
