frist black man to put the American flag on the north pole

He was actually not just the first black man but the first man to reach the north pole. He and a large team were originally all headed for the pole together, but they didn't make it in one successful trip. They spent several years trying to get there. After a while a lot of the team members had given up and left. But Matthew Henson and a good friend of his.....Robert Peary, along with two Eskimo helpers, had not given up quite yet. In the End Matthew went on ahead and reached the north pole a few hours before his friend Robert.
