Rediscovering Our History on the Web

By Maurice Brown

One of the very best things the internet has to offer is the wealth of information readily available at your fingertips. With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can find vast resources of knowledge on literally thousands of topics. A recent search of Google (a website used to locate information on the internet) located over 18 million references to the phrase "black history" on the web. The same site reported over 11 million references to the phrase "African American history". In recognition of the month-long celebration of Black History, I thought it would be an opportune time to highlight some of the online resources that feature stories of our rich history and culture.
