          their communities.  Specifically,  this resolution makes the  
          following legislative findings:  

          1)Among those Americans who have enriched our society and  
            contributed to the history of the United States are members of  
            the African American community; and, the African American  
            community nationwide continues to enrich and contribute to  
            America's welfare by promoting equality and justice for all.

          2)The history of African Americans is unique and vibrant; and,  
            African Americans have been heroes, leaders, pioneers, and  
            inventors in the areas of science, medicine, business,  
            education, government, and social leadership.

          3)The history of the United States is rich with inspirational  
            stories of great African American men and women whose actions,  
            words, and achievements have united Americans and contributed  
            to the success and prosperity of the United States; and, it is  
            appropriate to celebrate this history during the month of  
            February 2010, which has been proclaimed as Black History  
            Month.
