ABOUT
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
In 1976, the U.S. government introduced Black History Month in conjunction with the nation’s bicentennial to honor the achievements and cultural richness of the African-American community. Today, more than 44.5 million U.S. citizens identify as black. Join us as we celebrate the gifts, voices and legacy of this diverse population.

OUR COLLEAGUES
Cultural achievements of African Americans can be traced through many generations of prominent thinkers, activists, business leaders, artists and musicians. Black History Month is a special time to celebrate the legacy of those rich contributions and their impact today. We asked members of ONYX – a Macy’s Employee Resource Group (ERG) dedicated to fostering an inclusive culture for black colleagues at the company – to share their views on the legacy they hope to leave at home and in the office.
