This era saw the birth of the pseudo-science of white superiority: eugenics. Bonnie meets a remarkable doctor, writer and statistician - James McCune Smith - the first African American to hold a medical degree - who fought tirelessly against the myths of eugenics and white superiority. She also discovers the untold story of one of the most famous black Victorians - Sara Baartman, who was displayed across Europe under the name The Hottentot Venus.
