The following is a press release from the African American Military History Museum:

The African American Military History Committee seeks living African American Gulf War-era veterans in the Pine Belt area to honor during the 4th Annual Black History Month Program set for Jan. 31.

To commemorate Black History Month, the African American Military History Committee is hosting a program at the African American Military History Museum on Jan. 31 from 1-3 p.m. with a reception to follow.

Next week, Hattiesburg Habitat will be hosting nearly 30 students from Pittsburgh that will be coming to volunteer to build the home of Daniel Litland in Petal. These students give up one week of their winter break to volunteer with Habitat. They are volunteers, so we like to reward their efforts with some good old Southern hospitality!

If you would like to volunteer to help feed these students lunch during the week- please sign up here!
