We invite you for a quick uncommon conversation that will challenge everything you think!
Why the Sun Never Sets on Black History
Yes, Black History Month comes only once per year. From the special museum and library exhibits to the musical and cultural festivals, Black History Month is a vibrant time of remembrance, learning, and celebration. But there is no need to sing the end-of-Black-History-Month blues! Doug and Robin discuss their enjoyment of this special month and then how they plan to celebrate Black history and culture throughout the year. Grab an expresso and join this uncommon conversation!
