Celebrating Black History Month

February is Black History Month. Local libraries, parks and television programs have a lot of options to help our families celebrate and become educated about black history. 
Carnegie Library created a list of children's books that help to create "what a wonderful world." Additionally WQED is airing phenomenal glimpses into Pittsburgh's history. I recently watched Wylie Avenue Days and learned about the development of Wylie Avenue, Hill District, and the intrusion of Mellon Arena. The Hill District hosted several places where musicians thrived. 
There are other events scheduled in the area, so check out the Trib's Listing and events sponsored by PNC, Citiparks' Exhibit: A City Of Rhythm: A Tribute to African American Music in Pittsburgh."


How are you celebrating Black History Month?
