With Black History month coming to a close, many organizations are having grand finales to signal the end of the month. Despite the ongoing pandemic, I am glad that we can still find a way to enjoy these virtual celebrations that showcase and celebrate Black life, joy and legacies. This list of things to do is music heavy this time — you might just find a new artist you love or discover a new genre.

Leading up to this tribute and celebration of life, the New England Conservatory’s Black Student Union held a countdown to this day, and it’s finally here. Coretta Scott King was an alumna of the school, which hosts a celebration of her life and legacy. This year, the livestream will be a short performance film focused on showcasing the stories of students then and now. The performance is meant to spark a deep reflection on the countless Black lives needlessly lost in America.
