Where did all the black women in history go?

In an interview some years ago, African-American actor Morgan Freeman said that he did not want a Black History Month.

With the girls Sin Fronteras in the National Gallery

Today we led a visit for Sin Fronteras, a group of young Latin American women aged between 14-15 years old, during which we discussed about women roles in society and the arts.
