Celebrating a Heritage: Black History Month

LOUIS ARMSTRONG
"There are some people that if they don't know, you can't tell them."

MALCOLM X
"Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change."

ROSA PARKS
"I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move."
"The only tired I was, was tired of giving in."

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

BARACK OBAMA
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail towards freedom through the darkest of nights.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can."

FREDERICK DOUGLAS
"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."
