(NAME-MCE) Black History and February Highlights

[Carole Bos]

During February we commemorate African-American Heritage Month and recall numerous world events:  Explosion of the shuttle Columbia, Parliament's abolishment of the slave-trade law, opening of King Tut's tomb and FDR's Executive Order 9066 (resulting in Japanese-American internment camps).  Learn the details of those, and other events, in this summary of February Highlights.
