February is Black History Month
We will be sharing daily quotes from individuals who made a significant impact in American History during our morning announcements this week:
Monday, February 7, 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 Rosa Parks, a Civil Rights activist who refused to move from her seat on a public bus that started the Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama, a significant piece of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Rosa Parks said, “You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”

February is Black History Month. Each school day, we will recognize an individual who made a significant impact in American History. Today we recognize the late Colin Powell, the first Black Secretary of State, and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff and an Army General. He said, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
Wednesday, February 9, 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 Katherine Johnson, a mathematician and aerospace technologist who calculated trajectories by hand for NASA in the 1960s and overcame racial and gender barriers. She said, “Take all the courses in your curriculum. Do the research. Ask questions. Find someone doing what you are interested in! Be Curious!” Katherine Johnson’s story was showcased in the movie Hidden Figures.

February is Black History Month. Each school day, we will recognize an individual who made a significant impact in American History.
