As much as we are in tune with black culture and our unrelenting love and admiration for black men, some of us ignore the celebration of BLACK HISTORY during the month of February. I for one had forgotten about it until I ran into it in the fine blog DQN IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA (http://dqninnorthernvirginia.blogspot.com/)
