Black History Month Resources and Invitation to Discussion

[Wendy Rivenburgh]

Hi, everyone.

February being Black History Month, and this week being National Black
Family Technology Awareness Week, I wanted to forward a few resources that
I've come across.  See below.

Also, the other day I was talking to someone from a Boys and Girls Club who
is leading discussions with youth about both famous and unsung heroes in
the annals of black history.  Are you running special events in your
programs this month?  Please share your ideas and experiences with the
list.  It would be great to pool our thoughts about the ways that Black
History Month and other celebrations can inspire learning.

Best wishes,
Wendy
