For this Monday during Black History Month, I'll provide more than one video link, but we'll start with:
Moments in Black History, from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff

These are 53 very short videos, or rather 52 very short videos with a single two-hour "A Day of Impact" presentation about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr which has more than a few moments of cringe for anybody not a an alumnus of that school.
The 52 short videos cover many common well-known events and people, as well as some I didn't know about, so my fellow wypipo might learn something new, like I have.
These aren't well-polished presentation. To be honest, most sound like school reports. But since most of us didn't learn most of this in school, that seems apt. It won't take long to catch up on a series of Black luminaries such as "Stagecoach Mary" and more recently, Smokie Norful.
For something Much More Modern, there's MKBHD, the YouTube channel of Marques Brownlee, who mostly reviews tech.

He has been my go-to guy for a couple of years now, and I bought a car less than two months ago based entirely on his video reviewing it. I mean, I also test drove it, but that's the level of trust I have in Mr. Brownlee.
