In February, the United States celebrates Black History Month, also known as African American History Month. The month is dedicated to honoring and highlighting the impact and importance of African American contributions to civilization when viewed as a whole. Since its inception, sparked by Carter Woodson, Harvard graduate and Black activist, Black History Month has garnered widespread support. [i]

Governor DeSantis' 20R-8D Florida map could potentially reduce the number of districts where Black voters are a majority and make it difficult for Democrats to win votes. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' 20R-8D map stands a chance of making it difficult for Democrats to win anywhere north of Orlando or outside major cities, Dave Wasserman, who analyzes House races as a senior editor at The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, wrote on Twitter.

Today is another first on the channel. Believe it or not, it’s actually quite hard to find Trinidadian & Tobagonian food here in LA, but after doing some research I was finally able to uncover a gem. I’ve been dying to try Trini food because I’ve heard it’s one of the countries in the Caribbean’s that has very unique food to the country, and not shared by other Caribbean countries. After trying some of the most well know items such as Doubles and Roti, I have to say, WOW!! Trini food is AMAZING!! I have a feeling I need to do a part 2 on this, what do you guys think?

As Black History Month comes to a close, we celebrate East Stroudsburg resident Ms. Debra Fraser-Howze. M.P.A. She is a renowned pioneer of health advocacy services for the Black Community. Ms. Fraser-Howze founded the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS (NBLCA). She brought attention to communities in need. She advocated, "you need to know your status" related to the HIV epidemic. She served as Presidential Advisor for both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush from 1995 to 2001. In 2003, Ms. Fraser-Howze was appointed to the New York City Commission on AIDS and in 2007 to the New York State Governors Health Advisory Council. She served as the Vice-Chair of the HIV Human Services Planning Council in New York City. In 2009, she received the National Medical Association's (NMA) highest honor - The Scroll of Merit. Working with community leaders and lawmakers, Ms. Fraser-Howze ensured communities of color would have resources for teen pregnancy, social welfare, HIV and AIDS.

I have never experienced fine dining when it comes to Caribbean cuisine but it actually exists in LA!! This place is a hidden gem and righteously so because it’s been opened for less than a year since the date of this video! Sean Romeo is a talented chef and artist and I can tell that he is on his way to doing big things. The moment you walk through the doors of Cecilia’s, you are quickly welcomed by warmth and coziness. The décor is awesome, the food is on point and I certainly appreciate everything that Sean is doing. Check out this video for some fine Caribbean cuisine!!

“It really feels steeped in this embrace of Black women, of Black people, and that intentionality that this makeup was created for you and with you in mind, at the very forefront." — Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye, Founder and CEO of Ami Colé

To say that the Philadelphia Phillies were not a progressive organization during the early years of racial integration in Major League Baseball might be an understatement. The last team in the National League to field a Black player, the Phillies ushered that player, shortstop John Kennedy, onto and then off the roster after just five games and two plate appearances in late April and early May of 1957.

We’ve started this Caribbean food series and today I’m going to bring to you a little hidden gem I found in the heart of Los Angeles. Ackee Bamboo is a small family-owned Jamaican restaurant that is serving really delicious and really authentic Jamaican cuisine to the locals since 2004. When I first took a step into the restaurant, I could feel the Jamaican vibe, the relaxed atmosphere and, most importantly, the delicious smell of food cooking up in the kitchen. Check out all the amazing food I got from this restaurant…boy oh boy…I walked away STUFFED! <a href="www.ackeebamboo.com">www.ackeebamboo.com</a> Song: MusicbyAden - Dusk (Vlog No Copyright Music) Music provided by Vlog No Copyright Music. ********************************************************************************** Social Media <a href="www.instagram.com/epicureaneric">www.instagram.com/epicureaneric</a> Business Inquiries: foodnavigators@gmail.com

(David Ruggles is portrayed in the middle of the picture) February is Black History month, and many of us are trying to learn more about Black history and culture - not only this month but any time during the year. I already talked about the first black-owned restaurant and the first-ever black church in the United States. But what about the first black-owned bookstore? Books and education have always been an important part of our lives, and it's also something Black people have been denied for a long time as the education of enslaved Americans has been discouraged.

The biologically based racial cleansing of Nazi policy started before WW1 in Germany’s African colonies. Two populations of the colonies rose against their oppressors. The Hereros and the Nama.

(CHARLOTTE, N.C.) Happy Monday, Charlotte! It is Feb. 21 and more fruits and vegetables are on the way to Charlotte stores as Mecklenburg County pours support into a produce program. Today's Roundup also has the latest on Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, which is ending some COVID-19 guidelines for students ahead of a Tuesdayvote on masking.

IN THIS VIDEO: We explore Boone Hall Plantation located in Mount Pleasant, SC. We started the day with breakfast at The Grit Counter and ended with a scavenger hunt and history talk regarding the slaves who resided on the plantation. We also tuned into a history chat detailing the origin of the term Gullah Geechee.

February is a Black History Month. We make an extra effort to learn about the Black culture and history, and religion is a big part of it. Do you know what the first Black Church of the United States was? It was no other than the First African Baptist Church of Savannah, Georgia.

"Leading While Black," a multimedia archival exhibit at Tisch Library, is pictured on Feb. 16.Kiana Vallo / The Tufts Daily. Tufts will host “Leading While Black,” a livestreamed event that will highlight and celebrate the contributions of Black leadership at Tufts, on Feb. 19. The event will honor eight Black leaders who had a lasting effect on the university by transforming decision-making, advancing equity and disrupting existing norms.

February is the Black History Month in the United States. I love learning more about the history and culture of Black Americans, and I think there should be a mandatory class - preferably even more than one - in middle school and high school.
