As part of our Diversity and Inclusion Program here at Bio-Rad, we publish a monthly Multicultural Calendar of events that are commonly celebrated in the United States. Our goal is to feature a variety of events that help bring cultural awareness to various groups' histories, traditions, and accomplishments while also highlighting events important to us both as a company and a community.
February 2023
Featured Event: Black History Month
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month, with other countries like Canada and the United Kingdom also devoting a month to celebrating Black History. For a deeper look at the more than 400 years of African American history and heritage that has shaped American culture, as well as some ideas on how to celebrate and observe this important month, click here.

Valentine's Day: February 14
As you probably know, February 14 is not just reserved for National Donor Day. Valentine’s Day is a festival of romance that celebrates love and relationships. Celebrated each year on February 14, it is often marked by giving gifts to and spending time with loved ones, but its history is a little more grim than most people realize.
