Throughout February we celebrated Black History Month. We recognized the descendants of Africans whose contributions have made our country great.
We must remember, however, that we have been given a gift of advancement and because of that gift, we must do even more for those that will come after us. It is only through hard work and persistent effort every day, every month, and every year that we will honor what African Americans have contributed and that we will be able to secure a future of progress and success, not only for African Americans, but for all people in America.
