I'm surprised the black people here are ignoring it. Here's my contribution for today. This black man was too busy to spend his life crying about racism-- and he faced REAL racism, not just the occasional dirty look that ruins Shays's day: Eugene Jacques Bullard

And it's very telling that he couldn't fly for his own country, the U.S., but had to emigrate to France to become a pilot.

It's no secret that blacks were slaves in the US and faced a lot worse then than they have in the past few decades. Is he part of Black History or not?

French Black History month I guess, not American. Why not? He was an American. I didn't know Black History month was only for Black Americans. It's called Black History Month, not Black American History Month.

It's called Black History Month, not Black American History Month. It's actually African-American history, they just don't spell it out. I suppose we can talk about Shaka Zulu too though. But it'd be kinda silly.

Okay, then never mind. Bullard is not a Black American hero. George Floyd is.

Or does that tell you the sad state of America right now?

How about Efunroye Tinubu? A slave trader and a power broker. There are statues of her in Africa.
