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.
