PUEBLO — As black history month continues, we take a closer look at the NAACP's impact in Pueblo.

Leaders say education and communication are key to bringing people together and making lasting change.
"As long as we continue to communicate both within and outside our circle, continue to learn about all people, then the country, the state, Pueblo will all be much better because, in all honesty, we all contributed to this great country."
The organization says it remains committed to bridging gaps, fostering unity, and ensuring that the history and contributions of black residents in Pueblo are recognized and celebrated.
