Wowsa. If you are interested in Black history, paintings, Newton's Principia, history of science, astronomy, and the 18th century, maybe also comets--and love a mystery, watch this. It's a great talk.

It is amazing, NO SPOILERS. But of course, contains historical racist matters.

Hat tip to @jlbellwriter for this. I had to keep stopping my #BobbinLace to stare at the items he was calling out.
