BLACK HISTORY CELEBRATION

COMTO Miami Black History Celebration Celebrating 35 Years of Making Transportation History

The 2021 Black History Theme is “The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity.” Our Black History Celebration is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history as well as our lives. Each Friday, we will send out a Celebrating Black History email, saluting a Black Leader. This year for Black History month we are paying homage to:
  • Our local leaders who have inspired us to pursue our dreams,
  • The many renown Black artists by creating Black culture inspired art,
  • Our Founder and the first Executive Committee of the COMTO Miami family by sharing the story of our beginning, the challenges they faced and their accomplishments.
