Blak History Month - Connect

In its second "official" year, Australia's Blak History Month is steadily gathering momentum and is being helped along by social networking tools.

There is -

• a Facebook group "I'll be Celebrating Australia's Blak History Month". There are resource sheets available here. Go to http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=62159984672

• a Twitter hashtag "group" #austblakhistorymonth

And importantly, there is a "buzz" as more people start talking about this new celebration.

Of course, a big shout out goes to Sam Cook from @kissmyblakarts for kicking the whole thing off in 2008 (and for the initial logo design).

So keep sharing folks, what you're doing? what you want to do now and/or in the future?

It will also be interesting to watch as non-Indigenous Blak Australians start participating from their own communities.

Late addition to this post:

Follow @kissmyblakarts on Twitter to get the link to your Great Moments in Blak History downloadable worksheets (or join the facebook group where they are also available).
