Ideas on Tap is highlighting Black History Month Feb. 9 at the Adams Hub for Innovation. Northern Nevadans are invited to bring their favorite soul food dish with the recipe card and enjoy an open forum on Black history.
“It’s not just for African Americans to come, it’s for everybody. I’m inviting everyone. … As the old cliché goes, Black history is American history,” said Michael Smith, the organizer for Ideas on Tap.
His theme this year is “Health and Wellness,” with monthly discussion topics including finances, fitness, taxes, and more.
