Journey to the Arctic with Matthew Henson, the first African American to explore the North Pole. Learn about the controversy surrounding his discovery, what Henson did with his life after returning to the United States and his legacy today. Expand your knowledge of Black History Month heroes with this icon of adventure.

February is #BlackHistoryMonth so throughout the month we'll be honoring influential African Americans whose stories you might not yet know. Some are pioneers in their field, some helped spark the civil rights movement and all have contributed incredible things to not only black history, but to the history of the United States as a whole.
