Dr Henrik Clarke (Maa Khrew) -A fricanism on revi of www.ivytech.edu) Black History Month Activity: Black History Month, which is the month of Feb-- ruary, is a time in which African Americans celebrate their ancestry and those of color that changed the world. Black | History month began in 1926. First it was introduced as, “Negro history week”, by Dr. Carter G. Woodson.. He made it the second week in February because it included Freder- ick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. In 1976, the week long celebration was extended to the whole month of February so that it would be a sufficient amount of time different celebrations and activities.

The restaurant week menu offers spe- cials for just $35.00. There are delicious choices on this menu such as a baby green salad, asparagus ~ brisque, filet mignon 6 oz. steak, or salmon. This in- cluded a banana pie in banana cream sauce for des- ert. For slightly more money, one could order from the daily menu. Del Frisco’s ambience is undeniable. The building once housed a bank, and for a price one - may dine in the luxurious vault. The service was ex- cellent, even if the wait to be seated was a bit long. Cocktails at the bar are available to alleviate the wait. Reservations are required. I would recommend this place to anyone, but be prepared to spend a good deal of money. The restaurant is new to the Philadelphia area, so try it out to feel the Del Frisco style cuisine. I a RR Ae
