Young kids and tweens celebrate Black History Month by sharing personal anecdotes in a series of new "This Is Me" interstitials beginning TODAY, FEBRUARY 1 on Disney Channel. Filmed at the Long Beach Boys & Girls Club, the interstitials feature youth sharing about their favorite heroes, sources of inspiration and dreams for the future.
