This month, we honor and celebrate the amazing contributions of Black Americans to our society. Black History Month is a time to look back on the past and also focus on the ongoing journey toward fairness, equality, and understanding.

At UCA WAVES, we stand with all communities—recognizing that everyone, no matter their background, deserves support, respect, and a chance to succeed. We believe our differences make us stronger, and as we work to support youth, mental health, and build strong, welcoming communities, we celebrate the strength and culture of Black Americans and all people who have been overlooked.

As we celebrate this month, let’s keep lifting up the voices of those who have shaped our shared history and commit to supporting each other every day.
