How many Black History Month events have you experienced or even planned (don't be ashamed), where no matter what you expected, it still boiled down to a Civil Rights discussion that centered around Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks?

Well this year, I wanted to combat that complacency. Here are a few of the brainstorms I had while planning Black History Month activities this year. If you use any of them, stop by and let me know! I'd love to hear how it worked out.
