Black History Month
Ausar Auset 

Are you doing anything special for Black History Month? Perhaps you're going to a program at a museum, watching a special on PBS or reading a book that delves into our history. Or perhaps you're just living Black life. Whatever you do, be proud that you come from a great people!

If you're living a good life, taking care of yourself and your family, you're also making Black history.
