say
Happy
Black
History

The
theme
for
this
month
as
a
chosen

the
African-American
life
in
history
committee
is
black
resistance.
This
month
we
celebrate
the
institutions
and
affiliations
that
have
lobbied,
litigated,
legislated
protested
and
achieved
success
for
black
people
in
the
state.
I
just
want
to
say
Happy
Black
History
Month

we
make
that
illegal.

want
to
offer
that
I
