Black history is celebrated only one month (in February) and then that's it, it's over. It should be celebrated the whole year. Great things from African-American leaders in our county take place all the time.

It was a groundbreaking trend on my part. I think this will give people a sense of hope, especially my students.

We have some (African-American educators and leaders), but not enough. I know we're trying to add more certified minority teachers in our district. We're trying to get our own kids to go out, get their education, and come back here (to teach).
