I am proud of being both American and African-American.
She is Nancy Lee Jones, a talented senior art class student, whose family had moved from the Deep South to the North to give her better education opportunities .
Nancy Lee, your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship.
We are so happy for you! But do not tell anyone yet!
Her art teacher, Miss Dietrich brought her up to become the expected winner of the Artist Club scholarship contest to get into the Art School.
Please, think about what you would say when the scholarship is conferred upon you.
This is Nancy Lee's water color painting for the contest that symbolize The American Dream (freedom, justice and equality)
One April afternoon Miss O'Shay, the vice principal sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her office where Miss Dietrich gave her the good news.
Later Miss O'Shay called her to the office again.
At home, Nancy Lee went over her speech in her mind many times.
...I accept this award not for myself alone, but for my race that believes in American opportunity and American fairness........American dream of 'Liberty and justice for all!'
