i mean u know that guy that um.. did the 1st open heart transplant or surgeory that is something which is worth remembering but why should it just be in BLACK history month huh??
to answer that, history could of been chopped up.
look, ever heard of segregration? after the civil war in the U.S., blacks were no longer slaves. but there were still NO or VERY LITTLE equal rights for the blacks. there were white only schools and black schools. on the buses, whites in the front, blacks in the back. even the drinking fountains and restrooms were segregated. before jackie robinson, no black person was on the major leauge baseball teams. robinson faced racisism and abuse from his OWN teammates. most of the players threatend to leave the team if he didnt leave. before that little girl in topeka kansas[forgot her name] attended an all white school[thx to thurgood marshall], imaging having to walk like miles to schools and back. u would have to get up very early. when she went to that school, the U.S. marshalls had to escort her because the parents, the white parents, would try anything to keep her away. some threaten to kill her. many blacks were threatened to not do certain things, but they did it anyway. the bus driver told rosa parks to move to the back or get arrested, but she stood her ground. and dont tell me u never heard of the Klu Klux Klan, formed after the civil war to keeps blacks from not only voting.
i hope this straighten things up for u.
