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

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.

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.

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)
