Of course I do! My family especially my grandmother, told me about these great men. Why wouldn't we know about them especially when I was in school, they were mentioned in history class. For my children, I have their pictures along with Noble Drew Ali, Mary McLeod Bethune, Shirley Chisom, Harriet Tubman, Adam Clayton Powell, Marcus Garvey, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Dorothy Dandridge, Langston Hughes, and Josephine Baker's biographies just to name a few of the other inspirations in Black history.

It is not Web. It is W.E.B. They are all dead. They were all male. Now you figure it out. Do your homework. Go to the library.

Yes we know who they are. They are few of the many people that we learn about in elementary history classes.

What is most shameful and disgraceful is that not enough Whites know who these distinguished men were! Do YOU know who John Brown was? Do you know why he was hanged? THAT man had cojones!
