Ok so I've been volunteered again by the college here to design the display case for Black History Month which is coming up. So, besides the obvious people like Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks that come to mind and one of my favorites Colin Powell. I am hoping that I haven't overlooked anyone, so if anyone has any suggestions of who'd they would like in my display case, don't hesitate to let me know and I'd be happy to add their choice. There are many people who have made a difference to make America the country that it is and I wish to give tribute to those who are deserving and appreciate anyone who has anything to say. Thanks Lost

Let us not forget Obama, as he is our president now. Oprah is another one.

Ok ya'll have gave me some great idea's, I'm heading off to the school to get started, I believe my theme will be: Building a strong America Brick by Brick. The background is going to be bricks since I cannot post all who made America great, I am going to list their names on bricks. I will post the most prominent and a little of their biographies and pictures of course on the display but I really hate to leave anyone out, so this should cover most. Thanks for helping  I'm going to open MD on the pc when I get to the college, so anymore ideas are welcome. Thanks again cuz this should take me prolly about three days or so to complete as it's a work in progress all ideas are welcome. tc Lost

Don't forget the many, many people that were just as instrumental in the cause of freedom for blacks in this country that are not black. John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln just to name the biggies...many, many more that risked their lives, their careers to help in this effort.
