Item: 5.a <br /> .AL V JUL <br /> Black History Month <br /> February 2016 <br /> Whereas: The City of Roseville is committed to recognizing and honoring the contributions of <br /> all members of our community; and <br /> Whereas: Negro History Week was established in 1926 by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson as a <br /> way to neutralize the deliberate distortion of Black History; and <br /> Whereas: This movement grew over the years to Black History Month to give an objective and <br /> scholarly balance in American and World History; and <br /> Whereas: The month of February was selected as Black History Month because it marks the <br /> birth of Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, Langston Hughes and Abraham Lincoln, leaders <br /> whose actions greatly impacted the lives of the American black population; and <br /> Whereas: The contributions African Americans made to our nation's economic strength as well <br /> as to our history, music, arts, written words and discoveries are often overlooked; and <br /> Whereas: On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation set the United States on the path <br /> of ending slavery, and on August 27, 1963, hundreds of thousands of Americans,blacks and whites, <br /> joined the March on Washington to the memorial of Abraham Lincoln,the author of the <br /> Emancipation Proclamation, in pursuit of the ideal of equality of citizenship; and <br /> Whereas: In 2017, Black History Month honors "The Crisis in Black Education," focusing on <br /> the crucial role of education in the history of African Americans; and <br /> Whereas: The City of Roseville invites all members of the Roseville community to renew their <br /> commitment to ensuring racial equality,understanding and justice. <br /> Now, Therefore Be It Resolved that the City Council hereby declare February 2016 to be Black <br /> History Month in the City of Roseville, County of Ramsey, State of Minnesota, U.S.A. <br /> In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Roseville to <br /> be affixed this thirtieth day of January 2017. <br /> Mayor Daniel J. Roe <br />
