It's february, black history month and I just wanted to ask you guys which african-american do you admire the most? (not trying to be racist) martin luther king definetely. We still remember him and we always will

Maya Angelou.

Malcom-X

Oh yeah, and tupac shakur..the most famous rapper of all-time?

Martin Luther King Jr.

I cant choose just 1.

-Ray Charles
-Malcolm X
-MLK
-Rosa parks

Rosa Parks

Martin Luther King Jr

MLK

he changed tha world ..

tell me .. why did you put jay z there .. i mean seriously you put a whole list of historic black leaders .. and then jay z?? ...

Martin luther king. He, like, made the world way more peaceful than it was before.

hmm yeah probably martin luther king.

I hope Malcom-X and Jay z is just up there for a joke

Martin Luther King changed things but i'm going for Ray Ray (Ray Charles)

Etta James. she's only the bestest soul singer EVER!

*nods* thatz a rly good one

^^EEEEEEEEE double-poster!!!!

anyhow.... *Nods* Maya Angelou is a good choice

I've always admired Frederick Douglass. He was a very significant leader int he abolitionist movement. Yea, I learned about him in APUSH (AP US History) just recently. He helped prove that African-Americans as well as any colored folk was capable of speaking up for their rights and that they were as equal as any man. :]

i think venus and serena williams just because they have so much athletic ability. i'm a sporty kind of person, and i admire athleticism...

Ray Charles...his whole story is amazing. and Rosa Park...

Martin Luther King Jr.

I know all of them really contributed, but I admire him a lot..we have been reading his speaches and analyizing them in class..first of all, he was a huge step on changed discrimination around..and hes so intellectual...just the way he thinks i guess

not just one:
Maya Angelou
Frederick Douglass
Ray Charles
amazing people..

Nelson Mandela.

I can't choose. I admire MLK, Rosa Parks, and Harriet Tubman...

I see Serena and Venus Williams and see such strong beautiful women succeeding in a world that is usually dominated by white people. Though I am not black, I still find inspiration in their story.

MLK. god bless him manz... if it wasn't for him, racism would b a worser problem than it is now.

hmm well since i play tennis serena and venus are my big role modlels. so there that goes ;]

Martin Luther King is my hero, not just my fav african american

i cant imagine being as strong as him

mlk and malcom x

malcom x !

MLK

and HENDRIX

out of those, i like Martin Luther King Jr. and Ray Charles....They both changed history in different ways.

ray charles sinced he changed music forever

Rosa Parks. I've admired her ever since my teacher made me do a report on her. ;)

g.w. carver.

Martin Luther King Jr =] he made a big impact in the whole wide world. Without Martin Luther King, we're doom !

umm martin luther king

Where the hell did Jay Z come from?

I'd have to say Martin Luther King Jr.

I can't believe you put Jay Z up there

Martin Luther King Jr.

Why the heck is Jay Z up there? The list consists of a bunch of people who made a big difference in the US and then all of a sudden Jay Z pops up.

Definitley Malcom X. He was such a powerful man. He went to my high school and he father died in Lansing Michigan

I really like Martin Luther King because he changes the world... and his dream came true...

george washington carver? lol.....................................

not to be rude!!! but.... why does ray charles wear sunglasses a lot? i dont know if he ever took his sunglasses off...but i feel like he's tricking us. i BET HE CAN SEE... he's just lying. sorry.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

yes, hendrix! all the way

Jay-Z......now
