Celebration of heroes
AUBURN - Visitors were invited to city hall Wednesday night to review the nearly 400 posted essays, poems and art for Black History Month.
Most who overflowed the hall's chambers to attend the Auburn Human Rights Commission's celebration, believed the elementary- and middle-school students were heroes too.
“I'm really happy and surprised that the kids chose people who were not famous, as well as those who are,” AHRC volunteer Joy Richardson said. “You'd expect Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglas. But they also chose some people from the community: teachers, athletes. They went outside of the class and did research on their own.”
