The highlight of Negro History
Week for the students at Lincoln
High School was an inspiring
speech delivered by Mrs. A. F.
Roston at the High Schol assem
bly on February 16, 1951. Mrs
Roston’s speech was a message
given to encourage and challenge
the Negro youth of America.
Mrs. Roston told about the pro
gress of the Negro from 1619,
when the first Negroes were
brought to America, up to present
day. She told us about their prob
lems and the difficulties that the
Negro has overcome. She pointed
out challenges for the Negro
youth of today and encouraged
them to accept these challenges
and take their places as citizens
of the world.
