Chairman Rozell Declares February
'African-American History Month'
Board of Supervisors - Chairman Maxie Rozell has declared February 'African-American History Month' in Caroline County.
The declaration comes about as a result of the postponement by the Board of Supervisors of its February 9 meeting because of inclement weather. One of the agenda items was to ask the Board of Supervisors to adopt a resolution proclaiming February to honor African-Americans in Caroline County.
As a result, Mr. Rozell has made the declaration by executive authority of the chairman.
"The contributions made by African-Americans in Caroline County are endless," commented Rozell, who represents the Reedy Church District, defined as a minority majority district in the 2000 Census. "It is wonderful that we can take this time and reflect on the many achievements that men and women over history have accomplished to make Caroline County a better place."
The Board of Supervisors will formally adopt the resolution at its February 23 meeting.
