Black History Month

It's February, and there are events being held nearly every day -- great opportunities for learning new things and delving into our collective history.  If there's a bright side to our life changes over the past two years, it's that so many more events are accessible online, so whether you're snowed-in or just having a pajama day, you can take advantage of all that's out there.  Here are just a few events that you might be interested in.
(Please note that AfAmArchive has no connection to any of these organizations or their events; they're just things that we've heard about and thought would be interesting.)
