STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION (OHIO), JANUARY 13 1986 - RESOLUTION THAT FEBRUARY BE DECLARED "BLACK HISTORY, EDUCATION, AND CULTURE MONTH

Mr. Frank R Ross (author of "Soul Dancing! The Essential African American Cultural Dance Book") was (with considerable effort) able to obtain this historic document from the State Board of Education (Ohio).  We thank him for his persistence and dedication to making sure that Black History and Culture is taught in all schools and is recognized and appreciated all over the world.
 
Statement from Mr. Frank R Ross:
"This resolution is historic and must be implemented in all Ohio schools, as millions of dollars are not being spent on Black history-cultural workshops, Grandmarch - National African American Folk Dance, Black literature - literature curriculum.  This is so important, ... our history and culture must be taught."
