Black History Month <br /> February 20— <br /> Whereas: The City of Roseville is committed to recognizing and honoring the <br /> contributions of all members of our communities; and <br /> Whereas: Negro History Week was established in 1926 by Dr. Carter Godwin <br /> Woodson as a 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 <br /> objective and scholarly balance in American and World History; and <br /> Whereas: The Month of February was selected as Black History Month because it <br /> marks the birth of Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. DuBois, Langston Hughes, and Abraham <br /> Lincoln, leaders whose actions greatly impacted the lives of the American Black <br /> population; and <br /> Whereas: The contributions African Americans made and continue to make to our <br /> nation's economic strength as well as to our history, music, arts, national defense from <br /> the Revolutionary War to present-Day military operations, written words and <br /> discoveries are often overlooked; and <br /> Whereas: On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation set the United States <br /> on the path of ending slavery, and on August 27, 1963, hundreds of thousands of <br /> Americans of all backgrounds joined the March on Washington to the Memorial of <br /> Abraham Lincoln, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation, in pursuit of freedom <br /> and equality for all; and <br /> Whereas: Despite all the progress, the legacy of slavery and segregation still <br /> persists in our nation in the forms of Mass Incarceration via the School to Prison <br /> Pipeline, Racial Profiling, Educational inequalities, Housing and Employment <br /> discrimination; and <br /> Whereas: In 20--, Black History Month honors [Theme chosen by either Congress or <br /> Black Community in Roseville]; and <br /> Whereas: The City of Roseville invites all members of the Roseville Community to <br /> renew their commitment to ensuring racial equality, understanding and justice and to <br /> participate in activities designed to advance the cause of freedom and equality for all. <br />
