This Women’s History Month, we’re taking a look at a special series of quarters honoring notable American women.

What you see or believe may not be the truth. Aknowledge your beliefs come from your personal experience and seek out different perspectives to balance out your information. Do not be quick to discredit others just because they think differently than you.
