Feb Reads: Black History Month
Black History Month is every February, and I have to say I think this Black History Month comes at a pivotal point. We’ve been saying Black Lives Matter during the pandemic and people are listening! The lovely Kamala Harris became the first African-American and Asian-American vice president just last month and I’m feeling positive about 2021! This is Black history!
