>>February is Black History Month. It is a time 
>>to recognize, understand and celebrate the 
>>contributions of Black Americans in the United 
>>States. During the month of January, we 
>>observed the life and contributions of one of 
>>America’s greatest men, Dr. Martin Luther 
>>King Jr. Next month, we will celebrate 
>>Women’s history Month where we recognize the 
>>contributions of the American woman. Ever Lee 
>>Hairston is a Black blind woman who through her 
>>leadership and sacrifices, has demonstrated 
>>leadership in her contributions to our 
>>country’s civil rights struggle for Black 
>>Americans and blind Americans. She marched with 
>>Dr. King in the civil rights movement of the 
>>early sixties and became a leader in the 
>>organized blind movement when she joined the 
>>National Federation of the Blind in the late 1980s.
>>
>>We invite you to join the Black Elected Leaders 
>>as we hear about Ms. Hairston’s time in the 
>>Civil rights Movement and in the National 
>>Federation of the Blind. We want to know what 
>>leadership skills she developed during her time 
>>with Dr. King, and how did she apply those 
>>skills in the blindness movement. How did she 
>>conquer discrimination that she faced as a 
>>Black blind woman? What would she say to us 
>>today as we continue our progress toward full 
>>and equal rights and opportunities in America?
