Celebrating Black History Month
All month long, we're celebrating Black History Month. A time to pay tribute to the amazing activists, writers, musicians, scientists and other people who struggled for generations against racism and prejudice purely because of the color of their skin.
There are a lot of fun ways to celebrate around the Triad this month, and we've pulled them all together in a special page to make it easier to find events. They start this weekend, with a special Black History Month Celebration at the Allen Jay Recreation Center in High Point on Saturday. You can also head over to Sciworks for the African-American Scientists and Inventors Exhibit, or go see "Crucibles of Courage" at the International Civil Rights Museum.
There are also some websites with lots of great resources an information.
AfricanAmericanHistory.gov is a site created by a group of governmental organizations including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian. It has a blog of the Tuskegee Airmen, photos from the Harlem Renaissance and resources for teachers.
The Biography Channel's Biography.com has some history and resources, as well as a schedule of upcoming shows.
FactMonster.com has timelines, quizzes, games and lots of history.
