Morning Announcements
Puerto Rican baseball star Roberto Clemente has created a lasting impact in his sport. He played 18 seasons in MLB, primarily as a right fielder, earning the 1988 National League MVP Award. During his 3,000 hit baseball career, he kept his 0.3 batting average for 13 seasons, and was the first player from the Caribbean and Latin America to win a World Series as a starting player. When he was not playing baseball, he was deeply involved in charity work in Latin America and the Caribbean. He passed away at the age of 38 while en route to aid victims of a Nicaraguan earthquake, and an MLB award has been made in his honor. This message was brought to you by Alex Fu of the ERASE Club.

LGBTQ+ History Month is a month-long celebration of the history of the diverse and beautiful lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. It was created in 1994 by Rodney Wilson, a history teacher at a Missouri high school. The following year, it was added to the list of commemorative months in a resolution by the General Assembly of the National Education Association. Wilson intentionally chose October for LGBTQ+ History Month for several reasons. Even though most people think of the Stonewall Riots in June when they think of LGBTQ+ history, some other important historical events took place in October; including National Coming Out Day. As well as the first, and second, Marches on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights that took place in October 1979 and 1987. This message was brought to you by SAGA. Celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month!
