Hello there,
We made some tweaks to the blog post our yesterday to include the editahton held
yesterday, sponsored by the White House and Wikimedia DC. Thank you for reviewing!
Here's the blog post:

<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/24/black-history-month-edit-a-thons/>
Not blown away by this quote:
Fb/g: "There is a bias and a lack of people of color involved in creating
Wikipedia...events like today are in part to make people aware of that and then to empower
them and give them the information they need to correct that bias."

<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/24/black-history-month-edit-a-thons/>
This one is my favorite:
Fb/g: On Tuesday, Wikimedians gathered at the
first-ever White House sponsored edit-a-thon, one of a number of edit-a-thons held across
the U.S. to commemorate Black History Month.

<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/24/black-history-month-edit-a-thons/>
This one underplays the White House event, which is a big deal. So I prefer the one
above.
Fb/g: Wikimedians teamed up with cultural,
political institutions- from Howard University, NPR, and even the White House - for Black
History Month to address Wikipedia's multicultural gap.

Fb/g: February is Black History Month in the United States. Throughout this month,
Wikimedians partnered with a variety of institutions - from the Schomburg Center, Howard
University, and even the White House - for edit-a-thons to address Wikipedia's
multicultural gap.

Assuming you already tweeted about the blog post in general terms yestersday, I would
emphasize the White House event today.
But this tweet is very cryptic for a casual reader. Could we include the words ‘first
White House edit-a-thon’ in plain text, without all the cryptic characters?
“The White House just hosted its first edit-a-thon! (add hashtags here)"
t: The @whitehouseostp & @wikimediadc teamed
up for first ever #BHMEditathon.
