5 Things to Know This Week
1
This year, Black History Month marks its 100th anniversary. In 1926, Carter G. Woodson established a weeklong recognition of African American history and culture. By 1976, the weeklong observation had evolved into a monthlong one. This year, AARP is dedicating Black History Month to health matters of the mind, body and soul. Join AARP Michigan for a virtual event Feb. 17 focused on nutrition tips. The event, from noon to 1 p.m., will cover how to portion, pair and time food, which can help increase energy, reduce medication and aid in weight loss. Registration is required.
