Hey its getting better...oh wait. Nevermind.

With the inauguration of Barack Obama, this year has already been extremely momentous for the civil rights movement. This being Black History Month, Boston.com reminds us of a touching story from 40 years ago in a city that was torn by a rift of racism.

Ahh, that was really moving.

Well leave it to a Minnesota-based grocer to remind us what Black History Month is all about: CHEAP GREENS AND CHICKEN!
