HISD American Heritage Month Video
Watch a segment of Houston ISD's American Heritage Month! Launch AHM in your education program or school!

"America is enriched by diversity. It is preserved by unity. Today, the opposite idea seems to be taking hold--every group is encouraged to retain its separate identity...and too often, students...are taught more about America's failings than its successes." "Historical ignorance, civic neglect and social fragmentation might achieve what a foreign invader could not."
