Answer 2

Thurgood Marshall was the first African-American Supreme Court Justice:

Thurgood Marshall (July 2, 1908 – January 24, 1993) was an American jurist and the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. Prior to being a jurist, he was a lawyer who was best remembered for his high success rate in arguing before the Supreme Court and for his victory in the Brown v. Board of Education case.

as for the others:

WEB duBois:
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (February 23, 1868 – August 27, 1963) was an American civil rights activist, leader, Pan-Africanist, sociologist, educator, historian, writer, editor, poet, and scholar. He became a naturalized citizen of Ghana in 1963 at the age of 95..

Jean Baptiste-Point DuSable:
Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable (1730s - August 28, 1818) was the first known settler in the area which is now Chicago, Illinois. He was long ignored by historians, partly because he was a Haitian and not white, and partly because the early histories were written by the friends and descendants of John Kinzie, to whom du Sable sold his house in 1800.

Oprah Winfrey:
Oprah Gail Winfrey (born January 29, 1954) is the American multiple-Emmy Award winning host of The Oprah Winfrey Show, the highest rated talk show in television history.

Booker T. Washington:
Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856, – November 14, 1915) was an American educator, political leader, and author.
