Black History Month, each year since 1991, Dominion Resources has
recognized the achievements of distinguished African Americans. Teaching
materials about these individuals are then distributed to thousands of
students, as well as community, government and non-profit organizations
throughout Dominion service areas in Virginia, North Carolina,
