> The reason February was declared Black History Month in 1976 is because history as taught in the U.S. largely overlooked the contributions of black people in the development of this great country. Taking one month out of the year to focus on African-Americans' achievements is just a way of playing catch-up.

> South Carolina artist Dorothy Wright can't remember when she decided to become an artist. For the retired Charleston teacher, whose work will be on display at the Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History Sunday through Feb. 27, picking up a pencil or paints has always seemed natural.

> With all the hoopla over figure skating and snowboarding medals, a tremendous Olympic achievement has almost gone unnoticed. But it's certainly fitting that during Black History Month a black athlete has made history. While more blacks are participating in winter competition - mainly from the United States - and although figure skater Debi Thomas skated to a bronze in 1988, no black of any nation had ever won a winter gold.

> With his feet stomping, his tonsils ringing and his lips curling, Laney boys basketball coach Norman Bonner doesn't seem to care about the old stereotype. You know, the one about the young whippersnapper of a coach who mellows with age. Sort of like Bobby Knight reincarnated on Ritalin.
