| 5 | 6 | | WHEREAS, Black History Month is being celebrated in February |
|---|
| 6 | 7 | | 2019 in recognition of the rich cultural heritage and significant |
|---|
| 7 | 8 | | achievements of African Americans; and |
|---|
| 8 | 9 | | WHEREAS, The observance was first conceived by Dr. Carter G. |
|---|
| 9 | 10 | | Woodson, a Harvard-educated scholar and the son of former slaves, |
|---|
| 10 | 11 | | who saw a need to promote the research and study of African American |
|---|
| 11 | 12 | | history at a time when it was overlooked by mainstream historians; |
|---|
| 12 | 13 | | in 1926, Dr. Woodson chose the second week of February as Negro |
|---|
| 13 | 14 | | History Week, due to the fact that it included the birthdays of |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, two men of great influence |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | to black Americans; in 1976, President Gerald R. Ford expanded and |
|---|
| 16 | 17 | | formalized the celebration to include the entire month of February |
|---|
| 17 | 18 | | and urged citizens to use it as an opportunity "to honor the |
|---|
| 18 | 19 | | too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every |
|---|
| 19 | 20 | | area of endeavor throughout our history"; and |
|---|
| 20 | 21 | | WHEREAS, The country has continued to work toward gaining |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | greater understanding of the enormity of African American |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | contributions in all realms; in September 2016, Barack Obama, the |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | first African American president of the United States, helped to |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | inaugurate the National Museum of African American History and |
|---|
| 25 | 26 | | Culture, noting the centrality of the African American experience |
|---|
| 26 | 27 | | to the American story; at the opening ceremony, former president |
|---|
| 27 | 28 | | George W. Bush, who signed the 2003 bill authorizing construction |
|---|
| 28 | 29 | | of the building, affirmed the study of African American history as a |
|---|
| 29 | 30 | | demonstration of our commitment to a fuller, more comprehensive |
|---|
| 30 | 31 | | telling of the nation's story; and |
|---|
| 31 | 32 | | WHEREAS, While the journey of African Americans toward |
|---|
| 32 | 33 | | freedom, equality, and justice has been long and difficult, the |
|---|
| 33 | 34 | | trajectory of that path continues to inspire hope of a more |
|---|
| 34 | 35 | | inclusive and ever-brighter future; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 35 | 36 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|---|
| 36 | 37 | | Legislature hereby recognize February 2019 as Black History Month |
|---|
| 37 | 38 | | and encourage all Texans to take advantage of opportunities for |
|---|
| 38 | 39 | | learning, reflection, and celebration. |
