Dear Julio, Im leaning about black history month. It is nice to be leaning about this and is the most educational month of the year. There are many famous black people like some you may know and famous poets that are really good. You should read about this and look it up. It is great to lean about this because you learn more about how black people changed history and that now people have equal rights, which they should have. Everyone should be treated equally and the same.

The Centennial Hymn" by William Cullen Bryant THE CENTENNIAL HYMN

by William Cullen Bryant Through calm and storm the years have led Our nation on, from stage to stage-A century's space--until we tread The threshold of another age. We see where o'er our pathway swept A torrent-stream of blood and fire, And thank the Guardian Power who kept Our sacred League of States entire. Oh, chequered train of years, farewell! With all thy strifes and hopes and fears! Yet with us let thy memories dwell, To warn and teach the coming years. And thou, the new-beginning age, Warned by the past, and not in vain, Write on a fairer, whiter page, The record of thy happier reign.
