The remarkable legacy of Charles Howard Wright, Detroit physician and founder of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, is illuminated in this episode in addition to the recognition of historian, educator, and founder of BlackPast.org, Dr. Quintard Taylor. Dr. Taylor launched BlackPast in 2007 with a vision to make African American and global African history freely accessible to the public. Under his leadership, the nonprofit became the world’s largest online encyclopedia dedicated to Black history, engaging more than sixty-four million users since its founding.
