Shines For All To See

We are proud to present the ‘official’ sesquicentennial celebration song…

July 9, 1902

The National Afro-American Council, a precursor to the NAACP, holds a meeting at the state capitol, and business, social, education, and religious leaders discuss strategies for improving the position of African Americans nationwide.

Thanks to Juliana James’ 4th Grade Class at Frost Lake Magnet School part of St Paul Public Schools for the research on January’s Day in History.

Thanks also to Minnesota’s Learn and Serve America Service Learning Program for their help.
