Celebrating Black Innovators

As February marks Black History Month, it is an opportunity to reflect on the contributions of Black Americans to our society and to celebrate the achievements of the past and present. In records management, it is important to recognize the contributions of Black pioneers who helped shape the industry. For example, in the early 20th century, black inventor Luther H. Campbell patented a fireproof filing cabinet, providing a safer and more secure way to store important records. His invention helped lay the foundation for modern records management and made it possible to store large amounts of information securely and efficiently.

Here at IQBG Inc., we believe that a more diverse and inclusive records management community will lead to better solutions, innovative ideas, and a stronger, more resilient industry. We will continue to work towards a future where everyone has equal opportunities to succeed, regardless of background or ethnicity.

Let us celebrate Black History Month by acknowledging the achievements of the past and recommitting ourselves to creating a better future for all.
