Governor Roy Cooper today released a new video celebrating the beginning of Black History Month. In the video, Governor Cooper encouraged North Carolinians across the state to submit their stories about the importance of Black History Month and where they would like to see North Carolina go from here. In addition, Governor Cooper signed a proclamation declaring February 2017 Black History Month. “Every February, we celebrate the heritage and contributions of African Americans in North Carolina and around the country. North Carolina holds an important place in African American history going back generations,” said Governor Cooper. This month, the Governor’s Office will highlight submissions from North Carolinians about what Black History Month means to them and what their vision is for our state. “During Black History Month, we not only should celebrate those who have made North Carolina a better place to live for everyone, but we should also acknowledge the deep sacrifices people made to get us to where we are now,” said Governor Cooper.
