“I celebrate Black History because I realize I am a living part of Black History,” says Jeffrey Speller. “Celebrating Black History month is the celebration of my family that endured through the struggle to survive in inequity to make sure that I would get to where I am today.”

“Black history is American history,” says Dave Williams. “Any month that more people hear additional narratives of our shared history is a great opportunity.”  Join NAAIA at naaia.org today.  #BlackHistoryMonth #diversityandinclusion #insurancecareers
