| | Don't Bring Us Down, February! |
| "Whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it...when you're free, your true self comes out." Tina Turner Did you know that February was chosen to be Black History Month in honor of the birthdays of 2 great Americans who played a role in shaping Black history, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln? Each year has a theme as well, and the 2024 theme is "African Americans and the Arts." Doesn't that sound like the perfect reason to get to the National Museum of African American History and Culture? There are timed entry passes available many days in Feb; less as spring approaches and the tourist season descends. Maybe take someone special for Valentine's Day! You're welcome. ~ jeanne, phil, meg, alex, annie and christine |
