A Negro Explorer at the North Pole

Book 01 of the FREE Banned Books! Series, A Negro Explorer at the North Pole is the memoir of Matthew Henson, a Black explorer and the first American to reach the North Pole. Henson’s story and historical achievement, kept under wraps by the greed and racism of those in power, was not given its due until well after his passing. The publishing of this new edition is a small attempt at reaffirming history, repairing past harms and safeguarding against those to come.
