Did you know? February is African American History Month in the United States. It is a time of recognition and honor of the contributions and accomplishments of the African Americans throughout history.

At Protiviti, we’re committed to building an inclusive work environment where every individual has the potential to succeed and where each person feels a sense of belonging. As African American History Month is celebrated, it is important for all of us to educate ourselves on the shaping of our history and of modern culture by African Americans.
