Black History Month is the annual celebration of achievements by Black Americans. Each February serves as a reminder of the central contributions of Black Americans throughout U.S. history.

Every day, there are still personal and professional inequalities that Black Americans face at work.

To garner a deeper understanding of how organizations are working to create a more equitable professional landscape, we asked several of our partner companies about the events and initiatives they have planned for Black History Month this year.

Here's a look at the events, initiatives, and programs that PagerDuty planned to celebrate Black History Month this year, in their own words:

This year, our Employee Resource Group, Array, will be honoring Black History Month with the theme, “Unite, UpLift, Enrich”. We will host company-wide events throughout the month in addition to programming exclusive to the Array community. All employees are invited to learn about what diversity means in the workplace.

Additionally, Array members are invited to an internal employee event where they will learn about the experiences of Array-Black members from different regions. In alignment with Array’s mission, to cultivate and celebrate a diverse and inclusive global environment at PagerDuty, this programming aims to celebrate our members.
