ODP Celebrates Black History Month

Oklahoma Democratic Party Chair Lisa Pryor said the ODP's observance of Black History Month offers all Oklahoma Democrats an opportunity to appreciate the valuable contributions of African-Americans to the development of America.

"We are stronger as a nation and we are stronger as Democrats when we respect and honor all people. The celebration of the cultural and personal achievements of African Americans throughout history binds us together and inspires us to work more diligently toward securing equality for all Oklahomans," Pryor said.

Pryor said the contributions of African Americans to our nation and our quality of life "is obvious and important to all of us."
