Black History Month was established in 1976
by Afro-Americans for the Study of
Afro-American Life and History. The
month-long celebration was an expansion of
Negro History Week, which was established in
1926 by Carter G. Woodson, director of what
was then known as the Association for the
Study of Negro Life and History. Woodson
selected the week in February that embraced
the birthdays of both Frederick Douglass and
Abraham Lincoln. The celebration may have
had its origins in the separate efforts of
Mary Church Terrell, a member of Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority, Inc., and the African
American collegiate fraternity Omega Phi
Psi. With the rise of the Black Power
Movement in the 1960s, many in the African
American community began to complain about
the insufficiency of a week-long
celebration. In 1976, the ASNLH, having
changed its name to The Association for the
Study of Afro-American Life and History,
responded to the popular call, citing the
50th annual celebration and America's
bicentennial. For more info, click

Southern Nevada residents may notice an increase in military
aircraft activity starting Feb. 2 and continuing through
Feb. 15 as another Red Flag exercise takes place here.
Red Flag is a realistic combat training exercise involving
the air forces of the United States and its allies, and is
conducted on the vast Nevada Test and Training Range, north
of Las Vegas. Red Flag is one of a series of advanced
training programs administered by the U.S. Air Force Warfare
Center and Nellis, through the 414th Combat Training
Squadron.
Flights involving more than 50 aircraft ranging from the
B-52 bombers to the F-22A Raptor will be departing and
returning to Nellis over the next few weeks.
Along
with the Air Force, this Red Flag will include multi-service
and coalition aircraft including the Navy’s EA-6B Prowler,
Saudi Arabia’s F-15S’s and U.S. Air Force F-15E’s from RAF
Lakenheath, England. These aircraft will be flying missions
during the day and night to the 15,000 square-mile Nellis
range where they will simulate an air and ground war.
For a
list of participating aircraft, visit
www.nellis.af.mil/library/flyingoperations.asp.
For more information about Red Flag, call the Nellis Public
Affairs office at 404-2719. |
