We will be sharing daily quotes from individuals who made a significant impact in American History during our morning announcements this week:
Tuesday, February 1, 2022:
February is Black History Month. Each school day, we will recognize an individual who made a significant impact in American History. Today, we celebrate Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. known for being an influential leader during the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King said, "The time is always right to do what is right."
Wednesday, February 2, 2022:
February is Black History Month. Each school day, we will recognize an individual who made a significant impact in American History. Today, we celebrate Doctor Mae Jemison, a physician, teacher, Peace Corps volunteer, engineer, and astronaut. She was the first Black female astronaut to orbit space aboard the shuttle Endeavor. Dr. Jemison said, “Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination.” She continues to work towards the advancement of young women of color getting more involved in technology, engineering, and math careers.
Thursday, February 3, 2022:
February is Black History Month. Each school day, we will recognize an individual who made a significant impact in American History. Today we recognize Denzel Washington, an accomplished Black actor who was nominated for four Oscars and won two, and received two Golden Globe awards and a Tony award. Denzel Washington said, “At the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about what you’ve done with those accomplishments. It’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.”
Friday, February 4, 2022:
Today’s quote to recognize Black History Month, we turn to an Olympian who competed in the 1936 Berlin Games. With the Olympics starting today, we celebrate Jesse Owens, who was the first American Track and Field athlete to win four gold medals at a single Olympic games. Jesse Owens affirmed individual excellence rather than race or national origin should distinguish a person. He said, “We all have dreams. But, in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort.”
