NAACP - Tell us about your Unsung Hero of Black History Month

Do You Know an Unsung Hero of Black History?

The world-changing advances made by African Americans in this century were neither pre-ordained nor inevitable. They are the product of thousands of individuals who changed the world with small decisions every day.

Maybe your mother marched, or your uncle sat in at a lunch counter. Perhaps your neighbor is pioneering a field or study, or your brother volunteers with at-risk youth. If you know an Unsung Hero, share his or her story—and a photo if you have one—to remember and honor them during Black History Month.

My father is Joe Black (left side of picture with Jackie Robinson), Brooklyn Dodger pitcher and Greyhound Senior Vice President. All those accolades that he earned during those years are great, but he was my hero because of the love, time and loyalty he gave me until God called him home.
