PR Newswire Commemorates Black History Month and Explores the Significance of Continued... -- NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --: In an effort to explore the changing significance of Black History Month, PR Newswire invited communications professionals to share their perspectives on the impact of Black History Month in today's modern era.
While this year's observance of Black History Month is particularly significant because it marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement,  according to Christina Steed , Senior Vice President of the Flowers Communications Group, Black History Month captures more than important historical milestones in the history of African Americans. Black History Month also presents an opportunity to highlight history in the making.
