February is Black History Month

 

What do all of these people have in common (excluding the folks hugging Ruben)????

They are all from Alabama.
Depicted are (clockwise from Ruben, who is upper left)
1.  Ruben Studdard, American Idol winner
2.  Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman in space
3. Artist Chris Hopkins' salute to the Tuskegee Airman
4. Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram
5. Baseball Hall-of-Famers Willie Mays and Hank Aaron
6. Rosa Parks, Civil Rights Activist


Throughout the month of February, whenever we get the chance, we'll focus on the accomplishments of African-Americans, particularly as they are related to Alabama or the Postal Service.
If you have an ideas or suggestions for subjects, please let us know.
