Today, U.S. Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (CA-18) released the following statement in celebration of Black History Month:

"Every February we celebrate the achievements of Black Americans throughout our history and pay tribute to their many contributions to our country. This year, Black History Month comes at a time when COVID-19 is disproportionately devastating communities of color.
