Dr. Vaughn sets the record straight on so many untruths about Black History.

Did you know that in 1721 an African slave, named Onesimus, taught his “master” the age-old African technique for Smallpox Inoculation in which a pustule from an infected person was ruptured with a thorn and then used to puncture the skin of a non-infected person?
Did anyone ever tell you that the collective contributions of Black Americans to science is so extensive that it is not possible to live a full day in any part of the United States, or the World for that matter, without sharing in the benefits of their contributions in such fields as: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Space and Nuclear Science?
Well, if you didn’t know these things, then keep on reading, and Dr. Vaughn will tell you about these and hundreds of other facts about Black History.
Most of society still believes what historian Arnold Toynbee wrote in his 1934 history book: “It will be seen that when we classify mankind by color, the only primary race that has not made a creative contribution to any civilization is the Black race.”
Dr. Vaughn sets the record straight on this lie, and on so many other untruths about Black history.
