Black History Month Celebration
We are beyond proud to share a monumental point in our organization’s history! Not Orange has been officially recognized by the African American Heritage Committee of the New Jersey Department of Labor as the recipient of their Annual Charitable Donation.
This wasn't just any ceremony. This year’s celebration carried the weight of history as we marked the 100th Anniversary of the very first Black History Week, established by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926. Being honored during this centennial milestone is a testament to our unwavering dedication to supporting and uplifting underprivileged communities within the African American population.
