February is Black
History Month! We asked the leaders of Miami-Dade County what Black History Month means to them. Here is what they had to say: "Black history
should be taught 12 months, not just one." "Black History Month
honors those who fought for what our great country stands for - freedom.
This month we will recall the vision of the great Martin Luther King,
Jr. and the courage of Rosa Lee Parks, who did much more than refuse to
give up her seat on a bus. We will have a chance to revisit the lives of
the remarkable people who have forever made their mark in the history of
our nation." "We are all
different on the inside and the outside, and it is that very diversity
that makes our world a wonderful place. And nowhere in the world is
diversity more celebrated than in the United States of America."
