A Note from Principal Jackson Hello, Lynbrook! |
A Proclamation on National Black History Month, 2023- February of each year is designated to celebrate the heritage and cultural contributions of Black Americans. The White House posted statement in recognition of Black History Month. It states, "During National Black History Month, we celebrate the legacy of Black Americans whose power to lead, to overcome, and to expand the meaning and practice of American democracy has helped our Nation become a more fair and just society. This country was established upon the profound but simple idea that all people are created equal and should be treated equally throughout their lives. It is an idea America has never fully lived up to, but it is an idea we have never fully walked away from either. The struggles and challenges of the Black American story to make a way out of no way have been the crucible where our resolve to fulfill this vision has most often been tested. Black Americans' struggles for freedom, equal treatment, and the right to vote; for equal opportunities in education, housing, and the workplace; for economic opportunity, equal justice, and political representation; and so much more have reformed our democracy far beyond its founding. Black Americans have made a way not only for themselves but also have helped build a highway for millions of women, immigrants, other historically marginalized communities, and all Americans to more fully experience the benefits of our society." We noted int today's LHS Bulletin that on February 3, 1870, the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified. The Fifteenth Amendment guaranteed that the right to vote could not be denied based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The 15th Amendment sought to protect the voting rights of Black men after the Civil War. Despite the amendment, within a few years numerous discriminatory practices were used to prevent Black citizens from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South. It wasn't until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that legal barriers were outlawed at the state and local levels if they denied any Americans their right to vote under the 15th Amendment. "Diversity and inclusion make our diplomatic team stronger, smarter, more creative, more innovative. We're operating in a diverse world, and America's diversity is a source of strength that few countries can match."ANTONY J. BLINKEN SECRETARY OF STATE More information about State Department Heritage and History Months can be found on their website.
