Black History Month 2019

Europe District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, celebrated Black History Month, Feb. 19. The theme, Black Migrations, explored the movement of people of African descent from 1900 to present day, creating new social realities in the United States. This demographic shift changed our nation culturally, politically and socially. Shawntesha Ingram with the district’s Special Emphasis Committee organized the observation, which included static displays, Jazz music, a quiz and a Southern soul food brunch. The guest speakers were Col. John Baker, district commander, and Navy Capt. Preston Gill, Defense Contract Management Agency Europe commander.
