Black History Month is a time to celebrate the Black individuals fought and struggled for our rights and our freedoms to help shape our country. Our ancestors have been a vital part of America’s story since the very beginning — and this month is a time to honor our stories and journeys. Over the next four weeks, I’ll be lifting up Black artists, organizations, and more who have left an indelible mark on our country. I hope you’ll join me in celebrating our history.

🌨️Protect Your Pipes🌨️

As temperatures are expected to drop to freezing or below early next week, it's important to prepare your home to prevent frozen pipes and costly damages:

• Insulate Pipes: Wrap exposed pipes to keep them warm.
• Seal Leaks: Check for drafts near your pipes and seal them to keep the cold air out.
• Keep the Heat On: Maintain a consistent temperature in your home, even when you're not there.
• Let Faucets Drip: A trickle of water can prevent pipes from freezing.
• Know Your Shut-Off Valve: Make sure you know how to quickly turn off your water in case a pipe does burst.

Don't be caught off-guard by the freeze—take action now to protect your pipes!

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” —

As we celebrate , let us remember that, above all else, King's message was of , , and non-violence. The nation he sought to evolve was more divided then, as it is today. Yet against the constant threat of beratement, imprisonment, and assassination, never yielded in his faith, either in the justness of his cause or the potential of a nation, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

King's “I Have a Dream” speech, during the 1963 March on , became one of the touchstone events in . But just as transcendent were the quarter million Americans of differing races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds, who peacefully assembled to listen at the Memorial. Their presence sent the message that equality of rights is not a special interest, but the responsibility of us all; and that to love your country, you must first learn to love each of its citizens. Otherwise, no change is possible.

“...love has within it a redemptive power,” King once sermonized. “And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person...and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load...There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.”
