As we step into Black History Month, let's acknowledge not only the rich history and achievements of African Americans but also the challenges that persist. A staggering fact remains that African Americans, who make up 13% of the U.S. population, represent 40% of the homeless population. This statistic reflects deep-rooted systemic issues that need our urgent attention and action. At Humility Homes and Services, we are committed to addressing these disparities and providing support to all in need. This month, as we celebrate the resilience and contributions of the Black community, let's also commit to fighting against the inequalities that lead to homelessness. #BlackHistoryMonth #EndHomelessness #EqualityForAll

This was two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation had formally freed enslaved people in the Southern states.
