 WHEREAS, Black History Month is observed each February to honor the rich history, culture, and achievements of African Americans whose contributions have shaped the United States and strengthened our communities; and 

WHEREAS, the observance of Black History Month originated from the vision of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, who founded Negro History Week in 1926, which later evolved into a month-long celebration to ensure that the vital role of African Americans is recognized and remembered; and 

WHEREAS, African Americans have played a pivotal role in shaping our nation's history through leadership, innovation, cultural contributions, and a steadfast pursuit of justice and equality, despite facing centuries of systemic oppression and discrimination; and 

WHEREAS, Black History Month provides an opportunity for all citizens to reflect on the sacrifices, triumphs, and resilience of African Americans throughout history, from the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement to the ongoing efforts to combat racial inequality; and 

WHEREAS, the celebration of Black History Month underscores the importance of fostering greater understanding, respect, and unity, inspiring current and future generations to continue the pursuit of justice and equity for all people; 

WHEREAS, I call upon all citizens to join me in celebrating the achievements and contributions of African Americans, reflecting on the lessons of history, and continuing the important work of building a just and inclusive society. 

NOW THEREFORE I, Vicki A. Tesoro, by virtue of the authority vested in me as First Selectman of the Town of Trumbull, Connecticut do hereby proclaim February 2026 as,  Black History Month.

The winter season has arrived, and town crews are getting ready for the upcoming challenges. They are servicing equipment and starting the annual pruning of vegetation along town roadways. Homeowners are reminded to trim any plants or branches that have grown into the roadways. Overhanging limbs and vegetation can create hazardous conditions for snowplows, potentially damaging side mirrors and windshields. Additionally, basketball hoops should be removed from the roadside. The town will not be responsible for any items placed within the right-of-way.
