According to the groundbreaking study , the first modern Britons, who lived more than 10,000 years ago, had blue eyes and “dark to black” skin. The fossil used for the study is known as Cheddar Man and it was unearthed more than a century ago. Cheddar Man: DNA shows early Brit had dark skin https://t.co/h4oMUWV0qg — BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) February 7, 2018 Cheddar Man lived shortly after the first settlers traveled from continental Europe to Britain at the end of the last ice age. People with White British ancestry would be a descendent of Cheddar Man’s population. A whole documentary on the subject called First Brit: Secrets of the 10,000 Year Old Man is set to air on Britain’s Channel 4 on February 18. With Cheddar Man being possibly perceived as Black by today’s standards, Twitter obviously had a lot to say. Swipe through to read people’s reactions!

This woman built her lipstick line into an almost half a million dollar business after being rejected on Shark Tank https://t.co/E2MbW0Decm pic.twitter.com/WEBYF6iPgE — xoNecole (@xonecole) February 2, 2018 Butler started her career as a financial analyst on Wall Street, but soon recognized a need within the beauty industry for lipsticks catered to women of color. Her stint on the ABC show came after her all-natural lipstick line was already on the market for a year. Show judges were not easily swayed to back the already profitable business, so Butler walked away without a deal. But that was only motivation for the young entrepreneur. The Lip Bar is now in its fifth year of business and worth nearly half a million dollars.

A new museum exhibit honoring Sandra Bland has gone on display in Texas just in time for Black History Month. The Houston Museum of African-American Culture’s exhibit, which opened Saturday, celebrates the life of the woman who was found dead in a Texas jail cell three days after a controversial police traffic stop in 2015. SEE ALSO: Sandra Bland’s Family Settles Wrongful Death Suit For $1.9 Million The exhibit, which tells Bland’s story partly through photographs, is like a walk through time for Geneva Reed-Veal , Bland’s mother, according to KTRK-TV . “You come out of this room and have a mix of happiness and sadness at the same time,” she said. “People seeing this exhibit should say to themselves hold on, I’m going to think a little differently about the way I do things — with my interactions with everyone but more so police officers.” Sandra Bland exhibit opens at Houston Museum of African American Culture https://t.co/h4NmVhLth5 pic.twitter.com/y3zSNIKWza — TheUrbanNewz (@TheUrbanNewz) February 4, 2018 A central piece of the exhibit is a makeshift car to watch the video of the traffic stop that escalated to an arrest. “We hope this exhibition will bring our multicultural audience to a better understanding of the fear African Americans have toward encounters with the police,” John Guess , the museum’s CEO who also curated the exhibit, told Houston Style Magazine . Art is an effective medium to express the pain, anger and resolve to end police violence against innocent Black lives. Here are some other examples of how art has been used for those purposes.
