There are many. We just see the singers and dancers on television. We (African Americans/Blacks/Humans) also see the actors and actresses. We see the atheletic on every sport. We have doctors and lawyers. We have judges and teachers. We are in every part of society and have been for generations now. We are astronauts. We are billionaires. We are struggling single parents trying to make a dollar out of 15 cent while working 3 jobs and taking care of 3 kids. We are survivers of Cancer, Sickle Cell, A.I.D.S., HIV, Lukemia, and every other disease out there. You name it we can claim it. African Americans are a driving force in America and across the world. We have influenced the Entertainment world, Sports world, Medical world, Home and Garden world, Judicial world and every other part that I am missing. With that said take a good look at the world, at the US, and your community as a whole and you will see a whole lot of African American influence in a positive way.

The resolve to fight for civil rights that all minorities benefit from now, thanks to great individuals like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks. This country would be a very different place for all non-whites if not for the efforts of African Americans.

Very strong people; as in, many african americans have been, and are unfortunareley still being criticised by racists, and to my opinion i can't find any reason why they're doing that. I mean we're all the same..., and still many never gave up their rights.
Like Oprah Winfrey, Maya Angelou,...
And i love their accent!

Strong backbone that derives from our ancestors necessary strength through the things they had to endure. Strong religious beliefs that holds many African-American families together.

Most can jump higher than whites, and also play basketball better. But you still can't swim.
