In this powerful episode, Espresso Talk Today dives into the remarkable, often-hidden stories of Black explorers who redefined what's possible—from Sylvia Earle's fearless ocean dives to Matthew Henson's trek to the North Pole, and Mae Jemison's journey beyond Earth's atmosphere. Join Ama-Robin as she reveals how racial barriers sought to silence these achievements, fostering a narrative that promoted white supremacy by erasing Black contributions. But these stories of courage, innovation, and breaking boundaries are here to be reclaimed and celebrated. Get ready to be inspired by these extraordinary lives—and to explore the explorer within yourself. Tune in to Espresso Talk Today for a unique journey that challenges limits, shatters silence, and empowers us to reclaim our history.

In this powerful episode of Espresso Talk Today, host Ama-Robin shines a light on the incredible Black explorers whose contributions have been erased by the quiet force of racism. From Matthew Henson, one of the first men to reach the North Pole, to Octavia Butler, who explored the Black experience through Afro-futurism, this episode uncovers stories of Black excellence and empowerment that history has tried to silence or diminish. Ama-Robin dives deep into how racism shapes historical narratives, how this silence continues today, and how reclaiming these stories can inspire Black people to challenge societal limitations and explore new horizons—physically, intellectually, and spiritually. Join us to break the silence and reclaim our power. If you must doubt something, doubt your limits.

We meet Ekow Eshun, leading curator, writer and broadcaster to discuss his new book The Strangers.In the western imagination, a Black man is always a stranger. Outsider, foreigner, intruder, alien. One who remains associated with their origins irrespective of how far they have travelled from them. One who is not an individual in their own right but the representative of a type. What kind of performance is required for a person to survive this condition? And what happens beneath the mask?In answer, Ekow Eshun conjures the voices of five very different men. Ira Aldridge: nineteenth century actor and playwright. Matthew Henson: polar explorer. Frantz Fanon: psychiatrist and political philosopher. Malcolm X: activist leader. Justin Fashanu: million-pound footballer. Each a trailblazer in his field. Each haunted by a sense of isolation and exile. Each reaching for a better future.Ekow Eshun tells their stories with breathtaking lyricism and empathy, capturing both the hostility and the beauty they experienced in the world. And he locates them within a wider landscape of Black art, culture, history and politics which stretches from Africa to Europe to North America and the Caribbean. As he moves through this landscape, he maps its thematic contours and fault lines, uncovering traces of the monstrous and the fantastic, of exile and escape, of conflict and vulnerability, and of the totemic central figure of the stranger.Described as a ‘cultural polymath', Ekow Eshun has been at the heart of international creative culture for several decades, curating exhibitions, authoring books, presenting documentaries and chairing high-profile lectures. His work stretches the span of identity, style, masculinity, art and culture. Ekow rose to prominence as a trailblazer in British culture. He was the first Black editor of a major magazine in the UK (Arena Magazine in 1997) and continued to break ground as the first Black director of a major arts organisation, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London (2005-2010).As Chairman of the commissioning group for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, he leads one of the world's most famous public art projects.In July 2022, Ekow curated In the Black Fantastic at the Hayward Gallery in London a landmark exhibition of visionary Black artists exploring myth, science fiction and Afrofuturism. His most recent exhibition, The Time Is Always Now, is a landmark study of the Black figure and its representation in contemporary art. The show opened at the National Portrait Gallery, London and is travelling to multiple venues in the USA, including The Philadelphia Museum of Art.Eshun's writing has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Observer, Esquire and Wired. His latest book is a work of creative non fiction called The Strangers, published by Penguin in September 2024.Follow @EkowEshun or www.ekoweshun.co.uk/Buy The Strangers, his new book from Waterstone's.

Amanda Bellows is a U.S. historian who teaches at The New School, a university in New York City. She is the author of American Slavery and Russian Serfdom in the Post-Emancipation Imagination, and a new book that is the subject of this interview, The Explorers: A New History of America in Ten Expeditions. Amanda received her Ph.D. in History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Explorers is a series of biographical essays of people most of you have heard of – Sacagawea, John Muir, and Amelia Earhart – and people most of you haven't heard of – James Beckwourth, Matthew Henson and William Sheppard – sewn together with the common theme of exploration. The book had come recommended to me by a couple of fans of the podcast so I jumped at the chance to have Amanda on.  I learned a lot from The Explorers, and of course have a link in the show notes on the website if you want to buy it after hearing our conversation. Books mentioned in the episode (Commission earned) Amanda Bellows, The Explorers: A New History of America in Ten Expeditions Roderick Frazier Nash, Wilderness and the American Mind X/Twitter: @TheHistoryOfTh2 Facebook: The History of the Americans Podcast Errata: Jean Nicolet went to Green Bay in 1634, not 1624 as I said toward the end of the episode.

On April 6th 1909, deep inside the Artic Circle after months on the ice, Robert Peary, Matthew Henson and their four Inuit guides reached what they thought was the North Pole. But, as Edward J. Larson tells Don, Peary's measurements and the speed of their journey were immediately called into question. Nonetheless, Congress voted to recognise Peary's expedition as the first to reach the North Pole, dismissing a rival's claim to have done it a year earlier.Produced by Benjie Guy.

Robert Harris has undertaken more than 50 multi-week trips into the world's wild places: “all unsupported and most of them alone”. He's driven to where the US road systems end (or did in the late 60s), 120 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska, and he's since been above the Arctic Circle 15 times (“there's a lot I want to see up there”, he says). He's tracked down caribou migrations in the Yukon, lived amongst Inuit people, and walked some of the finest hiking trails in the Dolomites, on New Zealand's South Island, in Chilean Patagonia and in the North American Rockies. And, after a lifetime of making dramatic journeys an annual habit, in 2017 he published his first memoir: Way Out There: Adventures of a Wilderness Trekker.Perhaps most impressively of all though is this: he's just a regular guy from New York. Well, perhaps not so regular. He grew up poor in one of the city's many low-income housing projects with a lot of family love and support, but no money to make his ambitions happen… and the outdoors wasn't even a part of his thinking until the Boy Scouts introduced him to landscapes without pigeons, concrete and cockroaches. He got a job, earned himself a scholarship and put himself through university at Queen's College. After graduation, he founded his own marketing company and settled into a life of work, family, and meticulous planning of audacious adventures all across the planet.Since 1993 he's been a member of the prestigious Explorer's Club, and in recent years he's dedicated himself to giving motivational talks to schools, clubs and social organisations.

It was probably a combination of parents who couldn't afford it, and a crazy notion that Boy Scouts wasn't really the kind of thing that a black kid from the street in New York city would want to be in. That was the mindset back then”.15:05 - “I was a different guy when I came back… and I got a lot of respect somehow”.16:45 - “My folks told me when I was young that they would give me everything they could that I would need to be successful. But they also told me that everything they gave me would not be enough, and that if I wanted to fulfil my dreams - whatever they may be - I was pretty much going to have to make that happen”, working, being awarded a scholarship and attending Queen's College to study Psychology.20:40 - First travels: “a piece of crap Volkswagen Beetle” and a 9,000 mile road trip as far north as roads go, 120 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska (“there would be no vehicles between me and the North Pole”).23:50 - “I want to know what's behind those mountains. I want to know what rivers, valleys and wildlife… and what it's like to be back there.”26:00 - “... sitting on the back of my car holding two coins: a quarter and a dime. And that 35 cents was the last money I had.”30:20 - A career in market research, starting a business “Don't convince yourself that it's impossible. If you want to do it, just figure out how to do it and go do it”. JRH Marketing Services is now “the oldest African-American-owned marketing consulting firm in the United States”.33:40 - Mixing multi-week global trips with an adult life (“it's funny how they add up to 50 so quickly”)36:30 - What makes it special to travel alone? (“I've never been lonely out there, and I've never come back early from a trip”)40:20 - “I'm a curious guy with a valid credit card”44:00 - “The smartest thing I ever did in all these trips was to keep a journal… now I'm pushing 80 I'm still doing trips, I'm still writing journals”46:18 - Contrasting the different environments around the world.49:00 - “I plan very intricately, and I take the time to send away for topo maps”, researching long-distance trips in the pre-internet age.51:10 - Gear chat, testing outdoor kit for Backpacker magazine (“nobody can tell me my pack is too heavy, because nobody's carrying it but me”)54:50 - “I'm using the same Thermarest mattress that I was using in 1980”55:45 - Hand-rolled cigars and a pint of Cognac (“it's going to last you 18 days”)59:30 - Is there anyone that's inspired you? “To be totally honest: no. And the reason is: there was nobody. I always wanted to be an explorer, but there was never any explorer I could look up to. I knew somebody like Matthew Henson who went to the North Pole in 1909 was a black man. But they never taught us about that in school. I heard about (Robert) Peary, but I never knew there was a guy with him that looked like me… I had to find my own motivation, I had to find my own inspiration”61:30 - Motivational talks to New York schools: “If I can do it, you can do it”66:45 - Greatest mountain memory… 10 March 1992, losing the trail, a backpack, a lot of body heat, and nearly everything in the mountains of south-west Tasmania (“the hardest trip I ever did, by the way”). 71:15 - All the time, money, freedom… what would you do? Five places: the top of Everest, the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the North Pole, the South Pole, the moon.

This one is a little different. I'll be reading for you the first chapter of "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole" by Matthew A. Henson, published in 1909. Matthew Alexander Henson was an African American explorer who accompanied Robert Peary on seven voyages to the Arctic. On the expedition that reached the geographic North Pole on April 6, 1909, Henson was reported to be the first person to reach the pole. Some question the veracity of this claim, but there's no doubt that Henson was an adventurer who risked life and limb to explore wild and perilous landscapes.  Visit the show notes to learn more about Matthew Henson.

À l'occasion du bicentenaire de la Société de Géographie, la Bibliothèque Nationale de France propose une exposition qui invite à repenser et déconstruire l'exploration au XIXè siècle. Car au-delà de la figure héroïsée de l'explorateur solitaire, aventurier blanc avide de lointains et de découvertes, existent d'autres visages, d'autres figures longtemps maintenues dans l'ombre : des intermédiaires locaux, des femmes exploratrices, des explorateurs non-européens, etc. Dépasser le mythe pour entrer dans l'histoire, c'est l'ambition affichée et réussie par la BNF dans son exposition « Visages de l'exploration au XIXè siècle. Du mythe à l'histoire ». Pour cela, elle s'est appuyé sur près de 200 pièces issues des fonds de la Société de Géographie, une société savante fondée à Paris en 1821 afin d'encourager la découverte et la connaissance du monde. À cette époque, après les grandes expéditions maritimes et scientifiques du XVIIIè siècle, les voyages d'exploration se multiplient, encouragés notamment par la Société de Géographie. Dans la presse illustrée ou les récits d'aventure à la Jules Verne, la figure de l'explorateur bravant tous les dangers dans des contrées lointaines et sauvages, devient totémique et prend toute la place. Une culture et un imaginaire de l'exploration se forgent alors, avec au centre l'homme blanc, casque colonial vissé sur la tête et la carabine jamais très loin. Dans les récits d'exploration, la solitude et le courage sont souvent mis en scène, omettant de dire que l'explorateur n'est jamais seul sur le terrain et que son action est parfois loin d'être désintéressée, maintenant ainsi dans l'ombre des auxiliaires ou savants lettrés jouant les intermédiaires, qui ont pourtant rendu l'exploration possible. Au XIXè siècle, à l'heure où les nations du Vieux Continent ont bien compris que l'exploration du monde était un formidable levier de connaissances, mais aussi de puissance, les appétits coloniaux s'aiguisent. Ainsi dans cette exposition, la figure du militaire conquérant usant de ruse et de violence est aussi présenté et le lien étroit, voire intrinsèque, entre colonisation et exploration est largement déconstruit tout au long du parcours. Enfin, dans la dernière salle consacrée au retour des missions d'exploration, au sujet des objets ramenés par les explorateurs qui figurent encore aujourd'hui dans les musées français, se pose la question brûlante du retour de ces pièces parfois spoliées dans un contexte de domination coloniale. Dans la grande famille des explorateurs du XIXè siècle, si l'on connaît déjà Dumont Durville, Admunsen, Livingstone, Caillé, Rasmussen ou Stanley, les noms de David Boilat le métis, Eugénie Coudreau, Apatou, El Hadj Ahmed ben Mohammed El Fellati, Nain Singh, Matthew Henson ou encore Mohammed ibn-Omar El Tounsy dit le Tunisien auront enfin un visage. Un reportage de Céline Develay-Mazurelle.   En savoir plus : - Sur l'exposition « Visages de l'exploration au 19e siècle. Du mythe à l'histoire » qui se tient à la BNF jusqu'au 24 août 2022. - Sur la Société de Géographie, société savante fondée en 1821 et plus ancienne société de géographie au monde. - Sur la thématique, la BNF a publié en ligne un dossier très complet. Elle a, par ailleurs, édité un catalogue d'exposition richement documenté et illustré. Sous la direction de l'historienne spécialiste des voyages Hélène Blais et d'Olivier Loiseaux, conservateur général au Département des cartes et des plans de la BNF en charge des collections de la Société de Géographie. Ils sont les deux commissaires de l'exposition. - Sur le travail de Camille Lefebvre, historienne spécialiste du Sahel et du Sahara au XIXè siècle et membre du Comité scientifique de l'exposition.

Paul Harvey - Matthew Henson

Matthew Henson was just 12 years old when he walked from Washington D.C. to Baltimore, and into a position as a cabin boy on a merchant ship. But his greatest trek would come three decades later and take him to the very top of the world. Some scholars even believe he was the first man to reach the North Pole.

I always remember being taught in school that the first person to reach the geographical North Pole was US Rear Admiral Robert Peary, but as with most events in world history, the truth isn't as cut and dry as that.  This is part one of my attempt to set that record straight.Here are the websites with more information about next week's centennial anniversary of the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier:1.

From 1891-1909, Matthew Henson dedicated his life to exploring the Arctic. Originally, Robert Peary hired Henson as a servant, but in 1908, when it was time for Peary's third and final attempt to reach the North Pole, it was Henson who was Peary's most trusted partner. As a Black American at the turn of the century, he faced constant racism, but in the Arctic, his character and skills couldn't be ignored. He was the best person to lead the final push to the North Pole, but would he be the first to reach it?   https://adventurenerds.com/podcast/matthew-henson-towards-the-north-pole/   Visit us at Adventure Nerds to learn more about us and find a list of references and a map of Henson's route towards the North Pole.
