D.R.E.A.M (Determined, Resilient, Engaged, Access & Movement) is the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas’ African American Employee Resource Group. We aim to address issues African-Americans face in our workplace, community, and country and celebrate their success.
February 1st through February 28th is recognized as African American History, or Black History Month. Black History Month was originally founded in 1924 as a week-long celebration by Ph.D. author and historian Carter G. Woodson. Today, we stand at the intersection of social justice and racial equity to continue celebrating and memorializing the Black experience's history.
This month, take our Virtual Freedom Tour to uplift, uncover, and celebrate African American culture.
