Happy Black History Month! We are looking forward to celebrating with all of our members and the wider Black Mason community. With the recent heartbreaking death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of Memphis police, we are entering this month saddened by the continual failure of American systems to keep us safe. However, we are committed to advocating for Black, African, and Caribbean prosperity, happiness, and solidarity to combat the oppression we live under every day. We hope to see you soon so we can embrace you and remind you that your community at CSA and Mason is looking out for you.
