Black history is celebrated only one month (in February) and then that's it, it's over. It should be celebrated the whole year. Great things from African-American leaders in our county take place all the time.

Dr. King stood for nonviolence and not judging people by their skin and he was someone I looked up to. But I consider my mother to be my role model. She's a very hard worker.

We have some (African-American educators and leaders), but not enough. I know we're trying to add more certified minority teachers in our district. We're trying to get our own kids to go out, get their education, and come back here (to teach).

It was a groundbreaking trend on my part. I think this will give people a sense of hope, especially my students.

I think that history should judge him as an inventor, as a giant in the industry who got things done when in the industry currently it's almost impossible to get things done.

It's part of our history. As far as I know, we don't have anything on site showing the rails in Ellicott City. We have a lot on trains, but this is a trolley.
