Black History Month Wrap-Up
If you aren’t on Facebook as much or at all anymore, then you probably missed some or all of my Black History Month travel stories, but don’t worry, because I’ve rounded them all up for you to read at your leisure. While Google is complying in advance to the government wanting to do away with Black History Month, I continue to get 400 emails a day regarding travel, and many of those have great Black travel stories, which I have been saving for this and my own travels.

Remember, Black history IS important history, especially in America, and educating yourself on that history while you travel is smart. It may rarely be feel-good, but history isn’t there to make you comfortable. I hope you will add some important local history and culture to each of your trips, so you understand more about your destinations by the time you go home.
