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 14, 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 Maya Angelou, a writer, poet, performer, and teacher. Ms. Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Tuesday, February 15, 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 Jackie Robinson, the first Black American Major League Baseball player who courageously challenged racial segregation during the 1940s. Jackie Robinson played for the then-Brooklyn Dodgers and said, “A life is not important except in the impact it has on others lives.”
Wednesday, February 16, 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 the first black millionaire in the country, Ms. Madam C.J. Walker. She also was a black female entrepreneur who inspired many with her financial independence, business acumen, philanthropy and said, “Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.“
Thursday, February 17, 2022:
Today for Black History Month, we recognize Robert Smalls, an individual who escaped slavery after captaining a ship through Confederate waters to the Union fleet during the Civil War. This brought President Abraham Lincoln to allow Black service members into the Union Army. He was also a first-generation Black politician who said, “My race needs no special defense, for the past history of them in this country proves them to be the equal of any people anywhere. All they need is an equal chance in the battle of life.”
Friday, February 18, 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 Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman and first Native American to hold a pilot's license. While Bessie Coleman is known for flying stunts and doing aerial tricks, she also is known for saying, “It’s when we forget ourselves that we accomplish tasks that are most likely to be remembered.”
