Several chapters of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh hosted African American guest speakers to commemorate February as Black History Month. These events were opportunities for Hindu Americans to learn about the history and struggles of Black Americans in shaping their successes and challenges of today.

  • Volunteers of Sri Krishna Shakha, Folsom in Sacramento, CA observed Black History Month by inviting US airforce veteran & current President of the Folsom-Cordova Unified School District, Chris Clark for a presentation. He spoke about his family’s experiences and struggles, while also emphasizing community engagement, the need for a conscious effort to learn about other cultures, and how people in power can influence building stronger communities
  • Jijamata Shakha volunteers in Peoria, AZ, honored African American community leaders in a special session. Corporate leader Bridget Reeves was the chief guest. Bridget spoke about several instances of the Black Community’s contributions in the areas of innovation, science, and lesser-known fields. The session was highly interactive, and Bridget answered several questions from HSS volunteers
  • Volunteers of Aadi Shakti Shakha in Harrisburg, NC celebrated Black History Month in a specially organized event. Three District Judges, a State Senator, a State House Member, and the head of the International Minority Coalition of Charlotte joined and shared their experiences with the group

POTENTIAL.”  Community leaders including NILA (Naperville Interfaith Leaders Association) President Lynn Pries joined for this program.

Harris, the chief guest, spoke about the historical struggles faced by the African American community and its ongoing challenges today.

From the bravery of the Tuskegee Airmen to the trailblazing African American officers who shaped law enforcement, their courage and dedication continue to inspire us all. Grateful for the chance to engage with such a wonderful group in celebrating history, unity, and service.” Councilwoman Jennifer Torres-O’Callaghan spoke on equity and inclusion in the community
