The retail employees at the Jacksonville General Mail Facility never take Black History Month lightly.
Not only did they take the opportunity to celebrate the rich heritage, culture and contributions of African-Americans , but they created a Black History display that honored the Postal Service’s recognition of outstanding African-American achievements in music.
The display included the USPS Legends of American Music – Black Heritage Series postcards which included recognitions of Jelly Roll Morton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Josh White, and more.
Also, included in the display were summarized documents on African-Americans of various influences, i.e., Rosa Parks (Character/Commitment), Fannie Lou Harris/Dorie Miller (Courage), Barbara Jordan (Citizenship), Maggie Lena Walker (Responsibility), and Alex Haley (Respect).
Rounding out the celebration was the feast of all feast, recognizing the various food staples that have been passed down from generation to generation.
