“Each year, we come together to honor and look back at some of the people who have made history across the African-American population. We use this event to not only educate, but to inspire,” said Jerry Short, NAVAIR comptroller and executive champion of the African-American Pipelines Advisory Team, at the NAVAIR Black History Month event Feb. 21. This year’s event featured author Isabel Wilkerson, who spoke on the theme of “Black Migrations.” (U.S. Navy photo)
