WASHINGTON, D.C. – Every February since 1976, America has come together to celebrate Black History Month and the contributions of African Americans to our nation and its history.
It was originally just a one-week celebration during the second week of February to celebrate the birthdays of Frederick Douglass, an abolitionist who spoke about his first-hand experience as a former slave, and Abraham Lincoln who changed our nation forever by ending slavery with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

it s the third time they play the all-star game here in kc but the last time was way back in 1973 when this place was called royals stadium. the national league won that game 7-1. and in a matter of just about 17 minutes the best players in the game will take the field. among them, 19-year-old washington nationals outfielder brice harper. he is the youngest position player in all-star history, not including pitchers, obviously that s why i said position player. and to think just three months ago he was in the minors. well, across the pond in the united kingdom just a few weeks ago until the star of the summer olympics. and a judge in great britain today gave go ahead to a controversial plan to put antiaircraft missiles on the roof of a london apartment building. folks who live in this 17-story place called fred wig tower had argued the missiles would make them a terror target. the build is about two miles
