This week, Scott and Aaron honor historical figures whose sheer laziness led them to world-changing innovations – like bifocals and the accordion, both invented by people who just didn’t feel like shifting back and forth between two things. Also: Daniel Fahrenheit discovers an accurate way to measure temperature; Mary Cassatt becomes a famous Impressionist painter (with a little help from personal privilege); and Harvey Milk becomes a trailblazing LGBTQ pioneer.
97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every Thursday morning, local historian Scott Washington joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck for “History Matters,” a look back at notable events and significant figures from this week in history, ranging from pioneers to writers to inventors to civil rights champions and more, locally, nationally, and beyond.
