Black History

Unfortunately, I was not able to support February's Black History Month like I wanted! So, I am going to do it now because I feel like I should pay respect to those who have made it way easier for me to actually walk the Earth!

My Black History person for 2010 is [drum roll pls!]:

JOHN HOPE!

why did i choose him? bc i wanted someone who wasn't that well known [Muhammed Ali or MLK or Harriet Tubman. u get my drift]

anyway! JOHN HOPE was

1. the first African-American president of Morehouse College
2. 23 yrs later he became the first president of Atlanta Univeristy [bka Clark-Atlanta]; bc of this, CAU became the first school to concentrate on graduate schooling for African Americans!
3. he was a race leader
4. he was active w NAACP [i love this organization]

5. he partnered w/ W. E. B. Du Bois in the Niagra Movement

Want to know more about him for yourself? GOOGLE him!

no, seriously. google him!
