	Black History Month and Celebrating Diversity February is Black History Month, a time to acknowledge the accomplishments of African-Americans. In this District, we don't limit our celebration of diversity to a single month. We take pride in the contributions everyone has and is making to the Los Angeles Unified School District. The names of our schools reflect that pride. Among them are: The Barack Obama Global Preparatory Academy Middle School; Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School, Cesar Chavez Elementary School in honor of the civil rights activist and labor leader; Korean-American philanthropist Charles H. Kim Elementary School; elected official Edward R. Roybal Learning Center; astronaut Ellen Ochoa Learning Center; elected official Esteban Torres High School; school desegregation activists Felicitas & Gonzalo Mendez Learning Center; journalist Frank del Olmo Elementary School; artist Frida Kahlo High School; labor leader Helen Bernstein High School; civil rights leader John W. Mack Elementary School; Tom Bradley Environmental Science/Humanities Charter Magnet; lawyer Johnnie Cochran Middle School; mother of the civil rights movement Rosa Parks Learning Center; Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools; educator Dr. Theodore T. Alexander Science Center Elementary School; and World War II Korean-American military hero Young Oak Kim Academy Middle School. These names and many others send a powerful message to our students. Greatness comes in all colors and all ethnicities. We acknowledge that greatness as we celebrate Black History Month. Ramon C. Cortines, Superintendent
