I admire MLK and I think we have strayed from his philosophy.
But I absolutely loved Hattie McDaniel. You may say she played stereotypical roles but watch her - often times she is the only wise character among a bunch of fools (like in GWTW). And she won that Oscar decades before Sydney came along.
Malcolm X just based on the movie (so it may not be entirely accurate)... there was a man with integrity and died for believing in doing the right thing... very few people do the right thing anymore... so sad in life...
actually foreign blacks played a role in american history and politics. the haitian revolution is mentioned in african american history and played a role with the black code laws towards american(black) slaves
Dr. King for showing us the light.
Rosa Parks for showing us courage.
Sidney Poitier for paving the way with dignity and class.
Jackie Robinson-ditto
Henry Aaron and Ernie Banks-Class acts.
Maya Angelou-simply brilliant.
And of course Jesse Owens.
Barbara Jordan, to her her talk was a true gift to man. She could have been the 1st woman & black to be President.
Jimi Hendrix was my hero for many years. I wish I still had that Black Velvet Picture of Hendrix I picked up in Mexico back in the 70's. How tacky would that be ?
