Black Panthers at the 2016 Super Bowl. Bey snatching edges with her new song and music video "Formation". Kendrick Lamar addressing his roots. Brittany Howard, and her band, Alabama Shakes accepting a Grammy for best rock performance. Aunjanue Ellis demanding, with her choice of clothing, not her words, that her home state of Mississippi take down it's offensive flag. Jesse Owens biopic coming to theaters. A Nat Turner movie sparking a bidding war at Sundance between Fox Searchlight and Fox. The new American Girl doll Melody Ellison of 1960's Detroit. 106-year old Virginia McLaurin celebrating Black History Month with the first Black presidential family.

I'd say it's been an overall great month, filled with historical firsts and highlights. Black History Months in the past haven't been all that exciting or historical or even fun, but 2016 will be a year to remember for black history to come. I hope that Latino and Asian history/culture months will be just as fabulous this year.
