FLUSHING Thirty days hath September, April, June and November. All the rest have 31 except February, which this year will feature 28 Days of Black History, courtesy of the Underground Railroad Museum in Flushing.
The museum is celebrating Black History Month with online presentations this year. The COVID-19 pandemic closed the museum’s physical location at 121 E. High St., and curtailed its activities, but the board and director are continuing the mission of the late founder and curator John Mattox to educate people about this aspect of American history.
Museum Director Kristina Estle said each day in February is paying tribute to a different person or event that played a key role in Black history. The museum traditionally holds events and activities to mark the occasion in February, but the pandemic continues to take its toll and spur people to explore online alternatives.

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.
