Is there really a need to segregate the black race? There is Black History Month, there is Black Entertainment Television, Vibe Awards, NAACP, Congressional Black Congress, etc...
These are in and of themselves racist. If we should all just get along, then maybe we ought to stop segregating the races like this.
Irregardless, to answer your question, for me it would be Martin Luther King:
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. "

SAD it has to be that way since the other 11 months are white history month. When I was in school they never even talked about anybody black in history class. Then I read about people like Charles Drew, Paul Robeson, Nat Turner, GW Carver and so many others on my own.

Hmmm....there is this wonderful black woman in our church....she gives the most wonderful hugs....there is this warmth that just radiates off of her. And then who can help but admire the courage and strength that Harriet Tubman's life resonated with. She didn't just "talk" about the things that she would like to do to make life better, she "walked" it out, putting it in action.

The reverend Al Sharpton... what a great guy. :) And I wish Martin Luther King Jrwas still alive, because I would love to just go and have a cup of coffee with that guy. The things he could inspire me to do.... gives me chills even imagining it.

present tense would probably be Oprah Winfrey. She's done alot to show how far the black community can get, and past tense; Martin Luther King Jr.; showing how far we have gotten and not letting anyone get in your way of what you believe in

i think the biggest influence in my life was a guy named adio. he came up from Africa a while back. he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. he helped my mom get a job where he worked and he helped me with numerous homework assignments and i got A's on all of them. he is just an all around good guy.

I think Martin Luther King, Jr. was an exemplary human being...the man was amazing.

A wonderful woman who 'worked' (slaved) for my parents' domestic/familial needs, all of my 'growing up' years, in the south. She was the person who taught us (me and my 5 other adopted siblings) strength of conviction, fairness of discernment, patience, and longsuffering acceptance of injustices . . . my step-mother was a miserably bigotted, domineering female, who made my 'hero' mother's life a living hell of prejudicial judgments.
