It must have been heartbreaking for Catherine Impey and her family.

Chapter 19 of Unsung Women in Somerset focuses on Catherine and her amazing contribution to anti-racism.

Today, 14th Dec, marks exactly 100 years since Catherine Impey died. She lived in Street, Somerset, her whole life and was the editor of Britain's first anti-racism journal, which she used to amplify marginalised voices, including many African Americans.

Catherine has a chapter in Unsung Women in Somerset.

Sadly, she isn't the Google Doodle for today. Who do you think deserves to be a Google Doodle?
