February is a time to honor the remarkable contributions, history, and culture of African Americans. Black History Month started in 1926 as a week-long celebration by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. It has since grown into a nationwide event. This month highlights the achievements that have shaped our communities and our country.
This February, Capitol Federal invites our customers and communities to celebrate Black History Month with us.
