. Since February is Black History Month, let’s see who we can name. There’s no way to name them all or talk about their accomplishments. More names will not be mentioned then we get to mention. Some names will be recognizable and some will not be known. Allow me to try to give them honor the best way I can today. Here are my top 20 in no special order.
(1.) Many have heard of Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on the bus, but do you remember Martha White? She refused to give up her seat on a crowded Baton Rouge, Louisiana bus in 1953. Her case then helped frame the Montgomery Bus Boycott two years later in 1955.
(2.) Melvin Van Peebles, legendary movie director, many consider him to be the father of the Black American Film Industry.
(3.) Lee Elder, who in 1975 was the 1st Black player to play golf in “The Masters.” He won four PGA Tour events in his career.
(4.) Bishop Desmond Tutu, a South African Archbishop, who was the first Black to hold that office. In 1984 he won the Nobel Peace Prize; Bishop Tutu is known as an international human rights activist and voice of moral leadership. He also worked with Nelson Mandela.
(5.) Wanda Young, one-third of the Marveletts, a famous singing group of the 1950s & 1960s.
(6.) Shirley McBay, a mathematician who was the first Black person to receive a doctorate from the University of Georgia.
(7.) Lee Evans, who made a world record in the 1968 Summer Olympics winning the gold medal in the 400-meter race. This was approximately six months after Dr. Martin L. King was shot to death. What makes him famous was while he was accepting his medal, Lee Evans wore a black beret to match his black socks and raised his fist.
(8.) Pervis Staples, a tenor voice of the famous Staples Singers.
(9.) Alice Hastings, the first Black federal judge appointment in the state of Florida. Also the first Black person elected to the Florida House since the Reconstruction. Also, Florida’s longest running Congressman.
(10.) Alvin Sykes, self-taught legal advisor who helped re-open the Emmett Till lynching case of 1955. It was this case that helped spark the March On Washington.
(11.) Elgin Baylor, an NBA legend who played with the L.A. Lakers. He was a superstar of his day.
(12.) Marvelous Marvin Hagler, a boxing legend and a former middleweight boxing champion.
(13.) Robert Ashby, one of the only three survivors of the Tuskegee Air Force.
(14.) Iru Cross, former NFL defensive back. What he is famous for is being the first Black man to work full-time as a sports analyst on national television.
(15.) Mary Wilson, a founding member of the famous Supremes singing group of the 1960s.
(16.) Leon Spinks, former heavyweight boxing champion. The fight he is most famous for is the 1978 upset when he beat Muhammad Ali. Ali did reclaim the title.
(17.) John Chaney, famous college basketball coach.
(18.) Cicely Tyson, an award-winning actress who helped open many doors for other Black Actress.
(19.) Hank Aaron, Major League Baseball player who broke Babe Ruth’s home run record.
(20.) Last one is not from 2021, but died in January 2022. Everett Lee, a music conductor who is said to have broken down racial barriers. The Chicago Defender called him the first Black conductor “to wave the baton over a white orchestra in a Broadway production.” He was born in Wheeling and is a member of the Wheeling Hall of Fame.
This is no way close to all who could or should be on the list. It is only a small few. It is a reminder that our heroes are dying every day, both white and Black. We have dealt with this virus for the past two years, and more have died than we had ever dreamed. Now is the time for new brave and strong people to make a difference in their community, no matter the color of their skin. Will you be one to make this world a better place before you have to leave?
