The late John Mattox did a service for our entire area when he founded the Underground Railroad Museum in Flushing.
This month, as part of Black History Month, the museum will pay tribute virtually to a different person or event that played a key role in Black history.
“I’m just highlighting the best of these people and what they’ve accomplished in their lifetimes, or the events and how it’s changed society,” museum director Kristina Estle said, noting she will produce daily two-minute videos to help educate local residents on Black history.
That’s an excellent way for each of us and our children to spend two minutes each day. Kudos to the museum for working to share their knowledge.
