I didn’t really do much to celebrate Black History last month. I was uber busy.

I did make time to see a black comic book superheroes exhibit at the Caribbean Cultural Center in New York. Storm of the X-Men has always been my favorite. Blade comes in a close second place.

The exhibit was the back drop while I was at a speed dating event, of all things.

I attended another event last month that celebrated the music of the late, great Nina Simone. The tribute band, Black Rock Coalition, played amazingly. They exposed me to songs in Simone’s catalog that I’d never heard. And they had the nerve not to perform Misunderstood and Preacher Man! I still enjoyed show..

Here’s a amateur recording I pulled from my iPhone. Sorry about the quality.
