In New Mexican and Mexican food, tamales are typically made with a corn masa dough and a filling of beans, meats, corn, or chiles and cooked over an open fire. Today, these little packages of perfection are simply steamed in their corn husk wrapper.. Pack tamales tightly in a steamer and cover top with corn husks. Cover tightly and steam the tamales in a large steamer at about a medium heat for 90 minutes (can take longer for larger tamales). Do not let the tamales touch the water or the dough will get soggy.

The 1960s had a dramatic effect on the study and celebration of black history. Before the decade was over, Negro History Week would be well on its way to becoming Black History Month. The shift to a month-long celebration began even before Dr. Woodson death. As early as 1940s, blacks in West Virginia, a state where Woodson often spoke, began to celebrate February as Negro History Month. In Chicago, a now forgotten cultural activist, Fredrick H. Hammaurabi, started celebrating Negro History Month in the mid-1960s.
