Pasadena Black History Month Magazine - February 2023 | Pages 3 & 4
BLACK HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY
THIS IS OUR INAUGURAL SPECIAL BLACK HISTORY EDITION.
The point of this edition is to celebrate the accomplishments of local African Americans, and yes remind us where we have been.
In these pages, we salute people like Lois Richard whose activism changed the way we elect our local officials. Honor John Kennedy, and reprint his last Black history column in Pasadena Now, include a Caltech interview with Dr. Martin Luther King and a thank you note from Dr. King the college provided to us.
We also hear from some of our local residents on moments, movements, and people in Black History that inspire them.
And of course as always we give locals like Lamar the space to have their say on the subject.
Yes, we must include stories and incidents that are not always easy to read.
