New York, NY – February 1, 2022 – AMC Networks is celebrating Black History Month with the rollout of its 9th annual, award-winning Black History Month Public Service Announcement campaign, in partnership with members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and Color of Change, the nation's largest online racial justice organization.

Black leaders are calling the recent series of bomb threats against several Historically Black College and University (HBCU) campuses "terrorism." There have been threats to several HBCUs so far this month, many of which occurred only in the past two days.

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Joyce Beatty and HBCU Caucus Founder and Co-Chair Alma Adams issued the following joint statement:

Though Biden is committed to nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court in replacement of retired Justice Stephen Breyer, Black women still struggle to be nominated in majority of public office positions.

Only five women have sat on the US supreme court in its 232 years. Not one has been a Black woman – but that is now set to change.

Small businesses, including Black entrepreneurs, can gain potentially lucrative opportunities from President Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure package.
