But when the Constitution ofthe United States was completed on the seventeenth o September 1787, I was not included in that We, the people, Barbara Jordan (1977)       Barbara Jordan once wrote, `We the people'; it is a very eloquent beginning. But when the Constitution of the United States was  completed on the seventeenth of September, 1787, I was not included in that `We the people.' As we mourn the loss of this  great American, let us honor her by seeking to further the  progress made since those early days toward true equality and inclusion. During African American History Month and throughout the year, we must embrace the diverse strands of our story so that all children can see themselves in our Nation's past and know that  they have a role to play in seizing the future's countless opportunities.
