Black History Month will soon be coming to a close, but it is not too late to celebrate, donate, and/or commemorate Black excellence, Black history, and Black solidarity. BHM AmNewsBHM
Each year I try to learn about someone in Black history who may not be well known and discussed in the larger public discourse. I also try to learn more about someone beyond just the headlines and their largest accomplishments.
This Black History Month I am also taking time to learn more about living legends who are walking among us. I often think of Quincy Jones and his career that has spanned several decades. He worked with musicians from Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson. He arranged jazz and classical music and even created new genres of music.
So, what will you do to celebrate Black History Month? Will you learn an old family recipe? Will you interview an elderly friend or family member and chronicle their story? Will you donate supplies to a Black teacher? Will you help someone register to vote? Or will you purchase and read a book by a Black author?
