Black History Month and media
While I’ve written plenty about African Americans in media, I haven’t written many Black History Month-related posts. (Of course, since I own this blog, every day here features posts by someone who’s Black.) Still, I thought for Black History Month, a “roundup” post of previous noteworthy media posts about African Americans might be nice.
