Black History Month: Carver, Bullard, Roudanez, Attucks

Posted on 2/4/17 at 5:18 pm
To maintain the limit on the number of threads, I have decided to combine some of figures together for each thread. I am not taking any more suggestions thanks to previous suggestions given to me in my announcement thread.
Part 1 of 8
George Washington Carver
Botanist and inventor
LINK
Eugene Bullard
In 1959 French president Charles, de Gaulle made Bullard a knight of the French Legion of Honor, the nation's highest-ranking order and decoration.
LINK
Louis Charles Roudanez
• He started the militant Republican journal, L’Union, published in French and edited by Paul Trevigne. It was the first black newspaper to be published in Louisiana.
Despite using much of his personal fortune to keep La Tribune afloat, politics and internal conflicts caused the paper’s demise in 1870. Louis Charles Roudanez died at the age of 67 in his home in New Orleans on March 11, 1890.
LINK
Crispus Attucks
A man of both Black and Native American descent was the first person killed in the Boston massacre, in Boston, Massachusetts and is widely considered to be the first American casualty in the American Revolutionary War.

Here is all that information in a much more readable format, aka not a poorly formatted wall of text:
Attucks
Bullard
Carver
Roudanez
ETA: Perhaps I am too harsh, though; it was interesting to read up on these fellas outside of Carver (whom I have read about plenty of times already)

I could do it like that if you guys prefer. I just was trying to see how much information I could get on a thread.
If I just linked it, I assumed you would think I didn't study it carefully.

rerun from what's happening?

Crispus Attucks did absolutely nothing. Learn more about the incident. He was an innocent bystander and was just walking down a back road when he got shot. He was not a revolutionary, nor did he play any role in the Boston Massacre or lead up to it.

Frederick Douglass is doing great things. One day we will remember him during black history month.

Bass Reeves was the man.

Pretty sure it's the messenger and not the message here.
A lot are tired of volod's threads.
He is a lot shallower than he thinks he is, and it shows from how he keeps asking for input for extremely asinine questions.
Case in point: this series. He goes through this big deal of not only getting permission from admins, but starts a pre post discussion.
As if this is some valued intellectual discussion to which he brings something to the table, and that we really care what he has to say on the subject.
If you wanted to post it, just do it. No point in making a production out of it.
