Before we get to the list, we have one seasonal roundups to get to first.
It's Black History Month, which means local venues are planning special events. This weekend, the NC Museum of History and Historic Raleigh Trolley have special tours, New Creation United Methodist Church will host Meet the Heroes of Black History and Cary hosts its 25th annual African American Celebration, among other activities. Our Black History Month roundup has more information about these events and others.
