@TheConversationUS created a Flipboard Storyboard this week featuring some of the less-well-known figures from Black history. Here are the stories of Charles Henry Turner, a high-school science teacher who revolutionized the study of insects, Mary McLeod Bethune, the “first lady of Negro America,” Wyatt Tee Walker, chief strategist for Martin Luther King Jr., and more.

Last of all, our @CultureDesk shared some good news from Canada: Its federal government has, for the first time, recognized Aboriginal title through negotiations. The Haida nation now has inherent rights to the archipelago of Haida Gwaii in British Columbia. @cbcnews reports that outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signed the document on behalf of the Canadian government, saying that it: "recognizes that the Haida people have lived here since time immemorial. That the Haida people have an inalienable right to use, manage and enjoy the lands of Haida Gwaii as they see fit. That self-determination is the only path toward true reconciliation."
