Solano recognizes Black History Month, contributions of African Americans
FAIRFIELD The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday adopted a resolution recognizing February as Black History Month.
The action was part of the board’s consent calendar and comes with a backdrop of ongoing protests and demonstrations about social injustice.
There were no comments from the board.
Board Chairman John Vasquez, during board member comments, also noted that February is also American Heart Month, which kicked off Friday with National Wear Red Day to raise awareness for cardiovascular disease.
He told the story of his own granddaughter being diagnosed before she was even released from the hospital at the time of her birth, but now has a life like anyone else her age.
