Stumbled across this today. Feb is Black History Month

Who knew.

Who remembered.

1. The Black Institute, put together by Brenda Lewis

after they killed ACORN, celebrates its first annversary this month

Harry Belafonte's new film, "Sing My Song" is still opening all over the place.

Rustin Bayard's centennial is this month, too.

Lots to celebrate.

2. I remembered and I'm doing something about it.

I teach a pre-K/Kindergarten class every Sunday at Ethical Culture. Last month I introduced Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to my kids. Tomorrow I'm progressing to Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth. And my kids are from all cultures and races.

My feeling is every month is Black History Month as there's a lesson in so many individuals that I'd like my kids to emulate.

3. And as a sidenote, Brando's only TV role

was in "Roots II: The Next Generations", playing American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell:

He won an Emmy for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie" for that. Ironic to see the bigots commenting at the link though. I suppose they know about his Civil Rights work?
