Read sheet music from the "Let It Resound" website representing a broad scope of African American musical genres of the late 19th and 20th centuries.
For the more aural among us, the Library of Congress has highlighted podcasts and videos on their African-American History Month Audio/Video web pages.
View an online exhibit about the Robert Gould Shaw Memorial commemorating the role of the 54th Massachusetts United States Colored Troops during the Civil War.
These are just good starting points from which to start your exploration of the wealth of topics within the broad rubric of African-American history. And as always, the Beaufort County Library -- physical and virtual -- is a great place to start your Black History Month celebration.
