Historic black school recognized

Miller, who said he is currently involved in the preservation of a former all black school in Prince George's County, called Saturday's event "a family gathering [of] people who persevered despite adversity.

"It's important that we remember where we've been, the shoulders or whom we stand upon and where we need to go," Miller said, adding that he believes that some of the glow he saw in the audience was also a reflection of the election of President Barack Obama.
