In 3vL we have been learning about different historical figures from the black community who have made immense and important contributions to the world. As well as recalling famous black role models, we have learnt about the founder of Black History Month, Dr. Carter G Woodson. He realised that in the books he studied, there was an under-representation of black people and their contributions to science and society. He was the only person in US history whose parents were enslaved and went on to earn a PhD.
