Times-Journal Staff
Students at Perry Elementary School celebrated
Black History Month Feb. 3 during an assembly held
at the school gymnasium.
Guest speaker Tiena Fletcher, member of the
Houston County Board of Education, told the kids
about her days in school during segregation.
Getting through school wasn’t easy, she told them,
but “I did it because I wanted to make a difference.”
Fletcher mentioned blacks in the local community
who work to make a difference. “You have Bobby
Glover, Herman Ragin, Robert Lumpkin, Hervia
Ingram. You have people like this in your communi

Reagan and Bush administrations. The policy bars
any international groups accepting U.S. funds from
performing abortions or actively promoting abortions
in a foreign country, except in instances of rape,
incest, or when the life of the mother is endangered.
On the agriculture front, the Clinton administra
tion has launched another attack on Georgia’s hard
working tobacco farmers. Located deep within the
President’s recently submitted budget was a proposal
that would devastate our tobacco farmers. This is an
attack on the small family farm! The President’s pro

war on the working men and women of Georgia’s
tobacco fields is ridiculous, and I will not stand for it.
I will continue to voice my strong commitment to
Georgia tobacco farmers, who have a legal right to
make a living and support their families.
