As most of you know its black history month. So his is dedicated to Oprah Winfrey, the first African American billionaire. Also like Jackie Robinson the first African American that played MLB.
It was found by Carter G. Woodson in 1926. It was first called " Negro History Week."
Now tell you about famous African Americans.
George Washington Carver- he made over 300 uses of peanuts
Frederick Douglass- he showed white Americans that both African Americans and White Americans were created equally.
Sarah Breedlove- was the first African American millionaire
Ralph Bunche- the first African American to get the Nobel Peace Prize.
And Finally
Barack Obama- the first African American President.
How about Jesse Owens? I think his story is great. Hitler was rising to power in Germany, speaking of all his Aryan super-race rhetoric. The 1936 Berlin Olympics games were going on, and he was one of the guests of honor. Here comes Jesse Owens, a Black American man from Alabama, zipping into the record books with 4 gold medals for track and field events, smacking Hitler's ego right in the face. So much for one ethnic group being better than the other.
