As Winter Break begins, with our homes surrounded by thick walls of snow, many of us
are saying, “I need a good book to read!” This is a perfect time to learn more about Black History Month with your kids.
Head over to the library, or
to the nearest bookstore, and find yourself some reading material that will enrich
your mind as well as teach your kids about Black History Month! WTEN put
