What Black History Month means to Senior Master Sgt. Erin Esquer

For Senior Master Sgt. Erin Esquer, senior enlisted leader for the 624th Aeromedical Staging Squadron, Black History Month is more than a cultural celebration and an awareness of notable figures who have significantly contributed to our American culture. Black History Month is personal to her; as a military member and woman of color, she genuinely believes she owes it to her ancestors to wear her skin proudly while remembering their sacrifices and doing her part to impact others positively.
