Happy Black History Month RDTAC:

February is a month to celebrate Black History and Love.  One of my favorite t-shirts that I own says, “Tuskegee University – We Are Black History”.  Those words are significant in February, as well as the other 11 months of the year.  I hope each of you attends at least one event this month that celebrates our past, present and future.

RDTAC, the February meeting will be at 2:00 pm on the 12th.  The Agenda and the Zoom information will be sent next week.  Please plan to attend.  In the meantime, please see the attachment – Tuskegee University, Quick Facts, Fall 2021.

See you on the 12th!
