You may recall that I really wanted to do an organized run-down of events for Black History Month and got bogged down in the organization process. I feel as though I’ve made some progress on this one. The devil is in the details, as they say. Hopefully all the links work and there are no significant omissions.
Just for fun, here’s a quick listicle from the Smithsonian Latino Center:
