Are you saying she should be recognized because she received numerous awards or because she was black?

When I got the newspaper this morning I was shocked that the pictures provided were of 3 Valedictorians giving their speeches and not the Salutatorian. The Salutatorian of the class of 2009 was Miss Ashley Welch, a young respectable African American lady. She gave a speech just like the valedictorians and yet the paper did not recognize her. She has the right to have her picture in there too. She wore many medals and cords and it seemed like she had on more than the valedictorians! This young lady needs to be recognized. Someone must have taken her picture too.

I'm in no way shape or form related to any of the honor students. I attended the graduation and got the newspaper to see the article about the event and noticed she was not in there.
