WINCHESTER, Va. – With the implementation of an overall approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, commonly referred to as DE&I, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Transatlantic Division looks beyond monthly observances to ensure the principles of DE&I become business as usual.
“I view black history as it is – history.”
Michael Lowery, a contracting officer's representative with the Transatlantic Division’s Afghanistan District, shared his thoughts on Black History Month.
“Not trying to be controversial, but I personally would like to move beyond Black History Month. The achievements and contributions by Americans that were and are black didn't – and don't – just happen in the month of February. I think whenever and wherever we talk about history we should highlight the accomplishments and contributions made by Black Americans where and when it’s relevant.”
