Answer 3

Nikki Giovanni. She's a black poet. Have fun!

EDIT: Interesting that I got a thumbs down already. Anyway, Giovanni is a black poet who was famous during the Civil Rights Movement. She fought for black rights along side Martin Luther King and was friends with him. She's still living. In fact, she's going to be speaking to my local library soon, and I'm very excited. It's unfortunate that someone gave me a thumbs down over a legitimate answer.

Answer 4

Here are a few names..if they don't work for you check out this website - http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/aaffsfl.htm#DOUGLAS


FREDERICK DOUGLASS
Period: The American Civil War And The Indian Campaigns
Frederick Douglass was one of America's most respected and well-known African American orators and abolitionists. His untiring energy and experience as a former slave from Maryland equipped him with the knowledge and fortitude to seek freedom for others.

HARRIET TUBMAN
Period: The American Civil War Through The Spanish-American War
Among other captive American slaves, HARRIET TUBMAN was known as an "Angel of Mercy." She was also born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland around 1821. Before she died in 1913, her early untiring work was well-known among the slaves, abolitionists, and slave catchers. She escaped bondage in 1849 and dedicated her life to freeing other American slaves. Harriet Tubman became the most famous of the "CONDUCTORS of the UNDERGROUND RAILROAD." At the risk of being captured and hung, she made 19 trips to the SOUTH and helped over 300 runaway slaves to freedom up NORTH. She was known to be quick, shrewd, and clever. It is said that she never lost a "passenger" on the freedom trail. Southern slave owners wanted to capture Ms. Tubman so badly, they offered a huge REWARD of over $40,000 (around $600,000 in today's money). During the Civil War, Harriet Tubman worked as a spy for the UNION ARMY. Ms. Tubman's home in AUBURN, New York was designated a NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK by the U.S. Department of the INTERIOR on May 30, 1974.

IDA B. WELLS
Period: The Indian Campaigns Through World War I
Ida B. Wells was an educator, civil rights leader, and a journalist. Mistreated for not giving up her seat on a railroad car for "whites only," Ida Wells turned from teaching to journalism. While in MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, she wrote and exposed in her weekly publication, THE FREE SPEECH, the names of the persons responsible for the LYNCHING of three African Americans. Her press was destroyed by an angry mob, but she fled to NEW YORK CITY and kept up the exposure of the LYNCHING of Blacks as a topic for JUSTICE and FAIR LAWS. SOUTHERN HORRORS (1892) and A RED RECORD were two of her publications on the subject of lynching. On May 30, 1974, her Memphis home was designated a National Historic Landmark

He replaced into vilified by ability of his government, the click, the NAACP, magazines, television - no one enjoyed this guy! and then he replaced into whacked by ability of his non secular chief. prevalent? i do no longer think of so. good? real? sturdy? Martyred? sure. prevalent? No. prevalent now? sure. yet, then, so is Jesus, and no-one stood up for him, the two.
