Celebrate Black History year round

 Hollywood, CA -- Black History Month for 2009 is coming to a close but, thankfully just released DVDs will help keep the spirit alive for as long as we choose. From historical figures and events to the humor and drama that keep us entertained, the variety of DVDs offer pure entertainment.

Twentieth Century Fox and MGM Home Entertainment honors Black History Month with a collection of 77 titles including comedies, thrillers, dramas, documentaries and television favorites. And a portion of the proceeds will benefit the NAACP on its 100th Anniversary.
