Ronnie Williams from Aldrich Library explains...

Aldrich Library celebrations of Black History Month are themed around subjects taught at the Moulsecoomb site. The last couple of years for example, have seen us focusing on African leaders in the fields of environmentalism (Nobel prize-winning Kenyan, Wangari Maathai) and architecture (multiple prize-winning David Adjaye, of Ghanaian descent).

We decided in 2020, to focus on the Caribbean and chose to do so with regards to science. Various sciences are taught at this site, but are not popularly associated with the Caribbean. When we discovered that the first week of October is 'UN International Space Week' we had visions of model Shuttle displays and a massive ceiling poster of the stars above Castries - all prevented by the lock down. Nevertheless, our research showed that space science would not be what it is now, but for contributions by scientists of African-Caribbean descent like Robert Rashford and Camille Wardrop Alleyne.

To highlight the achievements of some African-Caribbean scientists Aldrich Library are running a 'quizzish' (that's a quiz without a prize!) on Twitter. Question and answers will be posted daily and can be found with #UOBBHMquiz. Further material about people of African descent in sciences, challenges to racism in various fields and about Black Lives Matter can be found in accompanying reading lists, and Box of Broadcasts playlists. Discover who saved the Hubble telescope, or which quantum physicist wrote about jazz, or who was Jamaica's own 'forensic scientist of the sky'. Enjoy!
