[0:06:29, 0:06:30]: Alright, well. [0:06:30, 0:06:33]: What I actually have here, ladies and gentlemen, is uh [0:06:33, 0:06:53]: The proclamation for Black History One. All right, now what I'd like to say to you all is that uh the city of Stockbridge for many, many years has given out proclamations and we do an I think do an excellent job of this because our clerk and her staff make sure that all the proclamations are framed. Okay. [0:06:53, 0:07:13]: So all the proclamations for every every time we get one out is framed. Uh we we want to honor our diversity in our community. So this is Black History Month, and we'll have special expert uh uh expressions and gratitude for Hispanics and Asians and LDB TQ, whatever domestic violence, whatever the case maybe we always do [0:07:13, 0:07:33]: That and we'll continue to do that in the studio stop raising to honor our diverse community and uh and recognize them in this aspect. So this is Black History Month, all right? Whereas in 1915, uh Dr. Carter Goodwin Woodson, noted black scholar, the son of former slaves, founded the Association of Study of Negro Life and History. [0:07:33, 0:07:53]: Which was later renamed the Association of Study of African Americans' Life and History, A-S-A-L-H. And whereas each February National Black History once serves as both a celebration and a powerful reminder that Black history is American history, black culture is American culture, and black stories are essential to ongoing story in America. Our faults are struggled. [0:07:53, 0:08:13]: Our progress and our aspirations. Whereas during National Black History Month, we celebrate the legacy of Black Americans whose power to lead, to overcome, expand the meaning and practice of American democracy has helped our nation become more fair and just society. Whereas the 2025 Black History Month theme, African Americans and Labor highlights [0:08:13, 0:08:33]: Celebrates the significant contribution of African Americans with all occupations for service and by acknowledging their past labor struggles. Whereas the struggles and challenges of Black American story to make a way out of no way have been a crucial, crucial, whereas our resolve and field division has most often been tested. [0:08:33, 0:08:53]: Testimony. Whereas Black America struggles for freedom, equal treatment, and the right to vote, for equal opportunities in education, housing, and workplace, for economic opportunity, equal justice, and political representation, and also much more have reformed our democracy far beyond the founding of America. Black Americans have made a way not only for [0:08:53, 0:09:13]: For themselves, but also have helped build a highway for millions of women, immigrants, historically marginalized communities, allowing Americans to move fully and fully fully experience the benefits of our society. And our for I have to miss for our virtual authority vests to me, the American City of Star Village, Georgia. And on behalf of City Council members Elton Alison and your London Department of Kyle Fair.
