Bill Summary
Relative to Black History Month.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution officially recognizes February 2013 as Black History Month, urging all citizens to celebrate the accomplishments of African Americans and acknowledge their diverse talents, achievements, and contributions to their communities. The resolution highlights the historical significance of Black History Month, which originated from Negro History Week founded by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, known as the "Father of Black History," and its expansion in 1976 to encourage the study of African American heritage. It also contextualizes the celebration by referencing important anniversaries in 2013, such as the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, while also acknowledging the profound and often overlooked impact of African Americans throughout U.S. history, from their roles in early American wars and government to their significant inventions and leadership in various fields.
