Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

I don’t go out to see many movies, as I am a big fan of staying home, and watching movies and serials on Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. But I recently saw Hidden Figures, and it was fabulous. Whether you wait until you can watch it at home or not, I highly recommend it. And later this month (as part of my tribute to Black History Month), I will be digging up five of the best sites I can find on Katherine Johnson (one of the heroes featured in Hidden Figures.)<\/p>\n

In addition to the Black History Month resources mentioned below, I have built up quite the archive of Black History content. I’ve listed them all in an easy-to-print format (meaning the URLs are displayed, not hidden behind a linked title) here: Black History Month Resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSee ya on the Net,

In 1915, historian Carter G. Woodson proposed a “Negro History Week” to honor the history and contributions of African-Americans. Nine years later, his dream became reality. Woodson chose the second week of February to pay tribute to the birthdays of two Americans that dramatically affected the lives of Blacks: Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809) and Frederick Douglass (February 14, 1818). The week-long observance officially became Black History Month in 1976.<\/p>\n
