Corpus Obscurum named Yahoo! Pick of the Day
Welcome to those of you who have arrived at Corpus Obscurum via Yahoo's Pick of the Day for December 13, 2006. When famous celebrities, athletes, and politicians pass away, the remembrances are splashed across television screens, newspaper headlines, and in news and entertainment weeklies. But what about the first black Navy diver, the man who invented the blue screen, or the only American woman to participate in the Second Vatican Council? Corpus Obscurum (www.corpusobscurum.com) remembers those scientific researchers, songwriters, civil rights pioneers, character actors, war heroes, and other significant contributors to our culture who's faces and names never graced a magazine cover Thank you all for dropping by and thanks to Yahoo! for the nod.
