Whoo Hoo! We have a new Dr Who, and she is a black woman

It’s about time.

The British sci-fi character “Doctor Who” will be played by a black actor for the first time in the popular BBC show’s 57-year history.

On Sunday, Jo Martin became only the second woman to play the time-travelling scientist, who has been portrayed by a dozen men and only one other female on the series.

Martin’s character, Ruth, was introduced to viewers on the program’s most recent episode, but it wasn’t revealed then that she will be the latest iteration of the adventurous doctor, who regenerates when its body is mortally compromised.
