News And Events

In 1988 Congress approved and each year the President proclaims that the 31 day period beginning with September 15th be nationally recognized as Hispanic Heritage Month. September 15th is the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries—Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico declared its independence on September 16th and Chile on September 18th.

During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we recognize Hispanic Americans for helping to shape our national character and strengthen our communities. The warmth and vitality of the Hispanic culture are great gifts to America and are part of the unique fabric of our country.

October 14th Miami Lakes Educational Center will have its 5th Hispanic Heritage Show. Any students interested in participating in this show need to attend a special meeting in F207 next week. Auditions will begin Wednesday. Any staff members who would like to be a member of Hispanic Heritage Month Committee please email or send a note to Ms. Corbett-Perdomo as notification of your interest.

A Moment in Black History

Today in 1867 U.S. Congress enacts charter to establish Howard University. Howard University is but one of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities have evolved from institutions formed to serve former slaves to institutions serving the new black middle-class-to-be. Black colleges at the beginning of the new millennium hang in and continue to produce, despite a fierce fight for survival.

Because of the black college, social networks were developed from campus life among men and women of color from all quarters of the nation. These networks became assets as black political awareness rose and as blacks from HBCU's nudged into new categories of jobs and at levels from interns to governors.

Over 100 years later, Historically Black Colleges and Universities still stand. Their character and missions will continue to change and evolve but best believe they will be around for many years to come.

A Moment in Black History

Today in 1817, Frederick Douglass, abolitionist and editor, was born into slavery in Tuckahoe, Maryland. Frederick Douglass was one of the foremost leaders of the abolitionist movement, which fought to end slavery within the United States in the decades prior to the Civil War.

A brilliant speaker, Douglass was asked by the American Anti-Slavery Society to engage in a tour of lectures, and so became recognized as one of America's first great black speakers. He won world fame when his autobiography was publicized in 1845. Two years later he began publishing an antislavery paper called the North Star.

Douglass served as an adviser to President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and fought for the adoption of constitutional amendments that guaranteed voting rights and other civil liberties for blacks. Douglass provided a powerful voice for human rights during this period of American history and is still revered today for his contributions against racial injustice.
