Official "recognition of Black History Month" thread
I just realized that we've been ignoring the fact that it is Black History Month.

I bought a book a couple of days ago called someone else's house:america's unfinished struggle for integration--has anyone else read it? I am just starting it today, but it seems good so far.

4. I've seen lots on it. Here. Just that there is so much crap surrounding
the WH that all "regular news" gets ignored it seems.
