Black history: Beyond the textbook

The hidden figures of history
Black history: Beyond the textbook

This February, in honor of Black History Month, The Inkspot is spotlighting the contributions of lesser-known African Americans, history’s hidden figures, whose ideas, inventions and courage helped shape our world.

From breakthroughs that made everyday life easier to leadership that pushed communities forward, we’re highlighting stories that don’t often appear in textbooks.
