Black Women in American Culture and History
This year's theme, "Black Women in American Culture and History," invites us to pay special tribute to the role African American women have played in shaping the character of our Nation -- often in the face of both racial and gender discrimination. As courageous visionaries who led the fight to end slavery and tenacious activists who fought to expand basic civil rights to all Americans, African American women have long served as champions of social and political change. And from the literary giants who gave voice to their communities to the artists whose harmonies and brush strokes captured hardships and aspirations, African American women have forever enriched our cultural heritage. Today, we stand on the shoulders of countless African American women who shattered glass ceilings and advanced our common goals. In recognition of their legacy, let us honor their heroic and historic acts for years to come.

The Star Thrower
An old man had a habit of early morning
walks on the beach. One day, as he looked along the shore, he saw a
human figure moving like a dancer. As he came closer he saw that it was
a young woman and she was not dancing but was reaching down to the sand, picking
up starfish and very gently throwing them into the ocean.
|
"Young lady," he asked, "Why
are you throwing starfish into the ocean?"
"The sun is up, and the tide
is going out, and if I do not throw them in they will die."
"But young lady, do you not
realise that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along
it? You cannot possibly make a difference."
The young woman listened
politely, paused and then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it
into the sea, past the breaking waves, saying:
"It made a big difference to that one."
