At Southwest Airlines, we value the meaningful relationships we have built in the communities we serve. The month of February is a great time for us to celebrate Black History, but for us, it’s not just a month-long celebration. Through relationships we develop with organizations throughout the country, we get to make a difference every day. Celebrate Black History Month by making a year of it. Get involved and make tomorrow fly today.

If it matters to you, it matters to us.
