February is Black History Month and for over 50 years, Americans have observed Black History Month, honoring the history, struggles and triumphs of Black Americans. The honor and achievements need to be recognized year round and by no means can be confined to just one month, but there’s no question that during this Black History Month these Greater St. Cloud businesses also need to be celebrated.
