MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 11, 2013 03:44 PM
From: Representative Ronald G. Waters
To: All House members
Subject: A RESOLUTION recognizing the month of February 2013 as Black History Month
 
In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution designating February 2013 as Black History Month in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This year’s theme is “At the Crossroads of Freedom and Equality: The Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington.” In 2013, we celebrate two important milestones in the history of African-Americans with the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation (1863) and the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have A Dream Speech” (1963).

If you have any questions regarding this resolution, please contact Germaine Brown in my Harrisburg Office at
717-783-4090 or via email at gbrown@pahouse.net.

Introduced as HR49
