CBC Chair Marcia L. Fudge Celebrates Black History Month

02/03/14

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressional Black Caucus Chair Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) released the following statement on the 87th celebration of Black History Month:

“Each February, America honors the many contributions African Americans have made to our nation. Originating as “Negro History Week” by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926, individuals of all backgrounds use this month to reflect on the legacy and achievements of people of African descent in America.

“In the face of unfathomable obstacles, African Americans have made great strides that have helped our country move forward. From science to sports, leading businesses and communities, African American pioneers have celebrated a number of firsts in all sectors of society and continue to achieve new heights in eliminating barriers to full economic and political participation for all people. With each accomplishment, a new door to opportunity is opened and a new path created that will benefit generations to come.

“This month we do not just celebrate Black history, but recognize an integral part of American history. I encourage everyone to join the Congressional Black Caucus as we reaffirm our commitment to equality, justice and to ensuring every individual can achieve his or her greatest potential."
