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.
BARACK OBAMA

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
