"FORT HOOD, Texas - "What else can I be other than an American citizen, with a rich American heritage after having been born here, after serving my country here," said Killeen's first African-American mayor, Timothy L. Hancock at a Feb. 22, Black History Month observance here organized by the 49th Transportation Battalion, 15th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary).
Hancock was the main guest speaker for this year's annual observance with the theme of "black history is American history," which Hancock said resembled his own personal beliefs.
Hancock spoke on black history in general and his own personal experiences in his home town of Tyler, Texas and in Killeen. His main message explained how the black community overcame obstacles to attain freedom, and how he personally used his freedom for the benefit of others.
