Excuse me, are you listening? 13-3
 Dear Readers,
Women’s History Month is in March. I have always found it to be an interesting time. I make it my business both during February and March to learn an abundance more about black history and women’s history. Being a woman and black, it is important for me to learn more. I also must get in some Latino history as well.

Opinion: Black Quarterback Wins Super Bowl: Where’s the Fuss?
By Stephen Crockett
The Root
Disney couldn't write a better story: A short kid, much too short to play quarterback, won't let that fighting spirit in him die. So he plays in high school, both ways: quarterback on offense and cornerback on defense. Hell, he even punted the ball. His high school coach called him a one-man wrecking crew. He breaks records and is still rated only as a two-star recruit. Too short, they say.
