NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH, 2013

- - - - - - -

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION In America, we share a dream that lies at the heart of our

founding: that no matter who you are, no matter what you

look like, no matter how modest your beginnings or the

circumstances of your birth, you can make it if you try.

Yet, for many and for much of our Nation's history, that

dream has gone unfilled. For African Americans, it was a

dream denied until 150 years ago, when a great emancipator

called for the end of slavery. It was a dream deferred less

than 50 years ago, when a preacher spoke of justice and

brotherhood from Lincoln's memorial. This dream of equality

and fairness has never come easily -- but it has always

been sustained by the belief that in America, change is

possible.

Today, because of that hope, coupled with the hard and

painstaking labor of Americans sung and unsung, we live in

a moment when the dream of equal opportunity is within

reach for people of every color and creed. National African

American History Month is a time to tell those stories of

freedom won and honor the individuals who wrote them. We

look back to the men and women who helped raise the pillars

of democracy, even when the halls they built were not

theirs to occupy. We trace generations of African

Americans, free and slave, who risked everything to realize

their God-given rights. We listen to the echoes of speeches

and struggle that made our Nation stronger, and we hear

again the thousands who sat in, stood up, and called out

for equal treatment under the law. And we see yesterday's

visionaries in tomorrow's leaders, reminding us that while

we have yet to reach the mountaintop, we cannot stop

climbing.

Today, Dr. King, President Lincoln, and other shapers of

our American story proudly watch over our National Mall.

But as we memorialize their extraordinary acts in statues

and stone, let us not lose sight of the enduring truth that

they were citizens first. They spoke and marched and toiled

and bled shoulder-to-shoulder with ordinary people who

burned with the same hope for a brighter day. That legacy

is shared; that spirit is American. And just as it guided

us forward 150 years ago and 50 years ago, it guides us

forward today. So let us honor those who came before by

striving toward their example, and let us follow in their footsteps toward the better future that is ours to claim.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United

States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me

by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do

hereby proclaim February 2013 as National African American

History Month. I call upon public officials, educators,

librarians, and all the people of the United States to

observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies,

and activities.

Students in Ms. Street's 6th grade math classes create polka dots to specifications as part of their Punky's Polka Dot Shop Application for Employment.

1st GRADERS HARD AT WORK!

Students in Mrs. Allen’s first grade class have been working very well together. Here, students work on the laptops performing math and reading activities.

Also, don’t those three students look like they are concentrating on creating their patterns? They are extending the “CORE” of the pattern using macaronis.

“School is always fun,” said one student.

Second grade went on a field trip to the Institute of Texan Cultures: the Back 40

Students learned about life in Texas during the time of early settlers. We saw a log cabin,

barn, garden, adobe house, school house and an army barrack from an old fort. We saw

how life was on the frontier!

Last week, Mrs. Duron’s Family and Community Service class continued to teach the Lackland pre-K 4 students about the benefits of eating right. They got the opportunity to sample some delicious (and

nutritious!) whole grains. The menu included: Oatmeal, Whole Wheat Pasta Salad, Brown Rice, a Corn Tortilla with beans and cheese, and Toad in the Hole (whole wheat toast and eggs). The students

learned that whole grains have more vitamins and fiber than white bread. Written by Nikki Hardrath
