PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, American women have played and continue to play a critical role in every
sphere of our nation's life; and
WHEREAS, American women of every age, race, class, and ethnic background served as
early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement,not only to secure
their own right of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the
emancipation movement, the labor union movement, the fight for education, the modern civil rights
movement, and today in the drive for health care for all; and
WHEREAS, despite these contributions, the role of American women in history has been
too often overlooked and undervalued in the body of American history.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ray Martinez, Mayor of the City of Fort Collins, do hereby
proclaim the month of March 2005 as
WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH
in the city of Fort Collins.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and the seal of the City of Fort
