When you think of all the resources you can turn to for programming during black history month, Conan is probably second or third, proceeded only by BBC2.

Ok, maybe not. Nevertheless, all month Conan is featuring a black history segment that you won't find anywhere else: "Black His-Stories."

Presented by comedian and writer Deon Cole, "Black His-Stories" is a look at current-day African-American stories that are just as important as the more celebrated stories you may have heard.
