The island nation of Iceland is known for many things; majestic landscapes, volcanic eruptions, and distinctive seafood, to list a few; but racial diversity is not one of them.
The little-known story of Hans Jonathan, a free black man who lived and raised a family in early 19th century Iceland, is both improbable and compelling. Join us as visiting Icelandic author and professor, Gisli Palsson, talks about his fascinating book.
