WASHINGTON
Black History Week
February 9 - 15, 1975
It is most appropriate that Americans set aside a week
to recognize the important contribution made to our
nation's life and culture by our black citizens.
With the growth of the civil rights movement has come
a healthy awareness on the part of all of us of achieve-
ments that have too long been obscured and unsung. Em-
phasis on these achievements in our schools and colleges
and in daily community life places in timely perspective
the benefits of working together as brothers and sisters
regardless of race, religion or national origin for the
general well-being of all our society.
In this spirit, I urge my fellow citizens to be mindful of
the valuable message conveyed to us during the celebra-
tion of this week.
Herald R. Ford
