Today we honor #RootDisruptor William T. Shorey. Affectionately known as the “Black Ahab,” William T. Shorey was a black whaling captain who escaped prejudice at sea. After learning navigation and moving up rapidly through the ranks, Shorey would become the only African American ship captain on the west coast. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #OurHistory #BHM #BHM2015
