I learn things better when I'm immersed in them, especially history. Some of the best things I've learned were through tours and museums while on vacation. If there is a museum where I can learn more about Black History, I will try to make it there, whether it's traditional history or art, I find it's important for soaking up more culture. One of the best, and most heartbreaking, museums I've visited was the tiny Museum of Slavery in Nassau, Bahamas.

You can read as many books as you want, and I highly encourage you to, as well as talk to your Black friends, but never turn down a chance to learn more history about oppressed and marginalized people.

What are some of your favorite spots for Black culture/history?
