Thinkfinity has assembled a diverse collection of activities to help families commemorate Black History. You can find a collection of highlights on their Black History Month page, but here are two of my favorites:

The NAACP Interactive Timeline , hosted by Laurence Fishburne, is a great tool to expand your knowledge of the milestones, people and events that illustrate the organization's impact on civil rights, science, the arts, law and more. Thinkfinity has also compiled a set of activities you can complete with your child to further reflect on these compelling stories.

ArtsEdge is hosting an audio series that traces the Blues as it evolved from the hardships Black Americans faced at the turn of the 20th Century. Through informative interviews and a wealth of podcasts, you'll learn the ins and outs of blues music and find out how the history of the blues has been brought to life on stage at the Kennedy Center.

On Tuesday, March 1st at 6pm St. Philip's Academy will be hosting author Kate McDonough, editor of The City Cook.com as well as the author of the newly released cookbook, The City Cook. She will be speaking to our community about the challenges of getting a meal on the table, living in an urban environment with food deserts and small kitchens as well as the importance of family meals. Simon & Schuster has agreed to donate copies of her latest book to be given to the first 40 attendees of this FREE event.

What's the book about?: The City Cook is an elegantly simple and eminently practical guide to fitting great cooking into a busy life and a small kitchen, including more than 90 recipes from Kate McDonough, editor and founder of www.TheCityCook.com.
