I rise today to join in this special order to observe and celebrate Black History Month. Observing Black History Month each year helps Americans educate ourselves about the important role that AfricanAmericans have played in our Nations history. Given the unique experience of AfricanAmericans in this nation of immigrants. it is important that all Americans understand and appreciate the nature of their struggle for freedom and equalityand the accomplishments in art. science. education. business. and politics that AfricanAmericans have achieved despite the extraordinary obstacles that they have been forced to overcome. I want to thank Representatives LOuis STOKES and DONALD PAYNE for organizing this special order today. As a result of their efforts.
