Washington, DC \u2013 El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 hoy la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n con respecto al inicio del Mes de la Historia Negra:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHoy marca el comienzo del Mes de la Historia Negra de este a\u00f1o. Febrero es un momento para que todos nosotros reconozcamos el impacto indeleble que los afroamericanos han tenido en nuestra naci\u00f3n; volver a comprometernos con la lucha para lograr y garantizar la justicia racial en toda nuestra tierra; y, por supuesto, para celebrar a los afroamericanos que han hecho enormes contribuciones a lo largo de nuestra historia al tejido de Estados Unidos. La historia negra es la historia estadounidense, una historia que tenemos la obligaci\u00f3n de entender y de la que aprender.<\/p>\n
\u201cA medida que ingresamos al Mes de la Historia Negra este a\u00f1o, tenemos mucho que celebrar pensando en las formas en que los estadounidenses negros han construido este pa\u00eds econ\u00f3mica, cultural y pol\u00edticamente, y c\u00f3mo sus esfuerzos contin\u00faan cambiando el panorama estadounidense tal como lo conocemos. Desde el historiador Carter G. Woodson, fundador del Mes de la Historia Afroamericana, hasta Stacey Abrams, que moviliza a los georgianos por elecciones justas y derechos electorales, hasta <\/b>Riley B. (BB) King, uno de los m\u00fasicos de blues m\u00e1s influyentes y c\u00e9lebres de todos los tiempos, el pasado, presente y futuro de Estados Unidos ha sido moldeado profundamente por l\u00edderes negros. Los Estados Unidos de Am\u00e9rica no ser\u00edan el pa\u00eds que son hoy, ni tendr\u00edan las grandes oportunidades por delante que tienen, sin los afroamericanos.<\/p>\n
\u201cA medida que llega el Mes de la Historia Negra de este a\u00f1o, tambi\u00e9n debemos reconocer que hay un esfuerzo generalizado y revivido para prohibir la ense\u00f1anza precisa de la historia de nuestro pa\u00eds, esfuerzos para dejar de ense\u00f1ar sobre las realidades modernas del racismo y silenciar las voces que intentan decir la verdad. . Hay cap\u00edtulos oscuros en nuestra historia, pero tenemos que conocer toda la verdad de nuestro pasado para continuar nuestro trabajo hacia un mundo m\u00e1s justo. Debemos erradicar el racismo sist\u00e9mico y luchar por la justicia racial en todas sus formas. De la continua lucha por el derecho al voto a desafiar partes sistem\u00e1ticamente racistas de nuestra Constituci\u00f3n, como la excepci\u00f3n de esclavitud en la Enmienda 13<\/a>, Todav\u00eda hay mucho trabajo por hacer. No solo este mes, sino siempre, debemos honrar y recordar el valiente trabajo que los l\u00edderes negros en Estados Unidos han logrado a lo largo de la historia. Debemos continuar la lucha por la justicia y la igualdad para todos\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
