Celebrating African-American History Month
In this 2016 story by Gwen Ifill, the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is introduced to the world:
"One hundred years in the making, the National Museum of African American History and Culture will open on Saturday in Washington. The museum presents history through objects both celebratory and sobering -- showcasing everything from Michael Jackson’s fedora to a pair of shackles discovered aboard a sunken slave ship. Gwen Ifill tours the exhibitions and speaks with the people responsible."
PWNP February: Chocolate Box Challenge
We completed the Chocolate Box Challenge!
A note of thanks from PWNP: "Thanks to our generous supporters, the Chocolate Box Challenge was a huge success!

We delivered over 400 juice boxes, over 1100 snacks, 14 reusable water bottles, 29 sheets sets, 38 towels, 235 wash cloths, and 419 chocolate heart boxes! Thank you to everyone who volunteered to organize, collect, distribute and donate. Our hearts are full!"
