Black leaders honored

Assemblymember Alex Lee celebrated Black History Month on Feb. 24 by recognizing the contributions of Black leaders in Assembly District 24, including Milpitas High School assistant principal Sean Anglon.

During his 27-year career, Anglon has created various educational opportunities for students, such as the Pittsburg High School Bridge to College program that taught students about African American history and provided college tours. He is a member of the Santa Clara County Alliance of Black Educators, and a member and educational chair of 100 Black Men of Silicon Valley. He also is a founding member of the UCLA Black Alumni Association-Bay Area.

The event was co-hosted by Milpitas Unified School District Board Trustee Chris Norwood, San Jose Evergreen Community College District Board President Tony Alexander and Fremont City Councilmembers Teresa Cox and Desrie Campbell.
