Black History Month is an annual celebration of the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history, and to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of figures who have played pivotal roles in shaping history but whose stories are often overlooked or marginalized in mainstream narratives. From civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks to pioneering scientists like George Washington Carver and Katherine Johnson, Black History Month brings these important figures into the spotlight.

February recognizes American Heart Month. One person dies every 36 seconds in America from heart disease, and globally it is the leading cause of death - with nearly 18 million deaths every year. Although it is a leading cause of death, there are also steps to take to prevent or mitigate it - including regular physical activity, dietary improvements, and monitoring of blood pressure and cholesterol.
