February is Black History Month, a time to recognize the contributions and struggles of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history. Although the racial justice protests that marked the beginning of the decade are no longer a nightly occurrence, continuing the work of learning about Black history and investing in Black futures remains as important as ever. Read on to find out ways you can honor and celebrate the month, from All Power to the People to The 6th Annual NW Black Comedy Festival.
