Never Forget: Honoring Alaska Airlines Flight 261—January 31, 2000
Originally posted January 31, 2024
Today marks the 24th anniversary of a tragic event that deeply affects us all to this day. On this day, we lost Alaska Airlines Flight 261, flying between Puerto Vallarta and San Francisco, when it went down in the Pacific Ocean between Port Hueneme and Anacapa Island off the coast of Southern California. Our hearts go out to all those who lost loved ones on that fateful day, and we honor the memory of everyone who was on board.
We will always remember and honor the memory of Flight Attendants Kristin Mills, Craig Pulanco, and Allison Shanks; Captain Ted Thompson; First Officer William Tansky; Sheri Christensen, Rachel Janosik, Ileana Ost, Sarah Pearson, Anjesh Prasad, James Ryan, and Stacy Schuyler.
Celebrating Black History Month
Originally posted February 1, 2024
February 1 is the beginning of Black History Month in the United States. This tradition was initiated by a Harvard-trained historian, Carter G. Woodson, in 1925. He introduced a week-long event to raise awareness about the contributions made by Black individuals. Discover resources to learn more about Black History Month, celebrate the achievements of Black Americans, and find events to participate in by using the links below. Wear your Black History Month AFA Pin this month and join the celebration. Contact your Local Council if you need a pin.
