I have to admit, some of these forums have been heated in a way I would not dare touch.
Anyway, I love black history because it pushes me 100% harder to achieve my goals while uplifting the black community.
So, here is my list,
-Daniel Hale Williams-first surgeon to successfully perform open hear surgery. The patient, who was black lived for 50 years after the surgery.
-Chemotherapy was discovered by Dr. Louis T. Wright and his daughter.
-L. Jhonson invented the SUPER SOAKER, yes that gigantic water gun!
-Last but not least, my favorite, Ralph Bunche! He was not only the first black American to hold the position as understretariate for the United Nations but he also was the first black American to win the Nobel Peace Prize. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950 for putting together a comprehensive peace treaty between the Isrealis and the Palinstinians.
-Also, did you know that Bunche was a member of the National(or United, sorry for not getting the name correct) Negroe Congress, which claimed to be a Communist group back in the 1930's?
