Get ready everyone, we're talking about Aztecs! This this is the longest series so far! We have so many more parts ahead of us. Today we're going to talk about the Aztec Economy. What did they produce and how? And how did the Aztec manage to get everything they produced to the several corners of the empire?

We are also celebrating Black History Month in the U.S. The link below will take you to a website that compiled several charities. They also went ahead and gave each charity a rating based on expenses, how much donated goes to the cause they promote, and the impact of the charity. Please take a look and donate if you are able or promote the charities that speak to you. We can all do better and be better.
