This February, Airgas celebrates Black History Month, honoring the contributions of African Americans and highlighting the ongoing fight for equality. Gabrielle Coleman, North Central Region Pricing Manager and member of our Airgas African American Employee Resource Group, reflects, “Black History Month is a time to reflect on my ancestors' perseverance and share stories showcasing their strength and determination. I honor the sacrifices made by those who paved the way for future generations, while acknowledging the significant contributions of Black people to our country and the world.” This month and beyond, we reflect on the profound impact of African Americans and reaffirm our dedication to building a future with equity, opportunity, and progress for all. Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!
Today, we honor the extraordinary life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose leadership in the civil rights movement transformed our nation and continues to inspire us. Dr. King’s vision of equality, inclusion, and justice reminds us of the importance of fostering a world — and a workplace — that embraces diversity and uplifts every individual. At Airgas, we strive to champion diversity and inclusion for all in the same spirit as Dr. King, and are committed to building an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. #MLKDay #EmbraceDifference
