A great African-American poet is Robert Hayden (August 4, 1913 - February 25, 1980). He wrote one of my favorite poems:\n\n"Those Winter Sundays"\n\nSundays too my father got up early\nand put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,\nthen with cracked hands that ached\nfrom labor in the weekday weather made\nbanked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.\n\nI'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.\nWhen the rooms were warm, he'd call,\nand slowly I would rise and dress,\nfearing the chronic angers of that house,\n\nSpeaking indifferently to him,\nwho had driven out the cold\nand polished my good shoes as well.\nWhat did I know, what did I know\nof love's austere and lonely offices? \n\nHe also wrote what he called an anti-epic "Middle Passage" which describes the voyage of slaves to the U.S. He is an awesome poet and not as well-known as some others.

Martha Dandridge Custis Washington (June 2, 1731 – May 22, 1802) was the wife of George Washington, the first president of the United States, and therefore is seen as the first First Lady of the United States (although that title was not coined until after her death; she was simply known as "Lady Washington").

Martin Luther King Jr.\n\nI would ask him from where, besides god, he drew his strong moral convictions, and his opinion on the present state of our country.\n\n\nPS: I am not being overly "PC." The guy who asked that questions REPEATEDLY asks racist questions and talks condescendingly of other races. My answer wasn't based on that ONE question. Don't be so quick to judge.

I assume you mean Frederick Douglass?\n\nFrederick Douglass was one of the foremost leaders of the abolitionist movement, which fought to end slavery within the United States in the decades prior to the Civil War. \n\nA brilliant speaker, Douglass was asked by the American Anti-Slavery Society to engage in a tour of lectures, and so became recognized as one of America's first great black speakers. He won world fame when his autobiography was publicized in 1845. Two years later he bagan publishing an antislavery paper called the North Star.\n\nDouglass served as an adviser to President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and fought for the adoption of constitutional amendments that guaranteed voting rights and other civil liberties for blacks. Douglass provided a powerful voice for human rights during this period of American history and is still revered today for his contributions against racial injustice.

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) was an American political leader who used her stature as First Lady of the United States, from 1933 to 1945 to promote the New Deal of her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt, as well as Civil Rights. After his death she built a career, as author and speaker, as a proponent of the New Deal Coalition and spokesperson for human rights. She was a First-wave feminist (although she opposed the Equal Rights Amendment) and created a new role model for First Lady.

by Martin Luther King\n"Whenever this issue [compensatory treatment] is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but should ask for nothing more."\n\nthat is what he said the white man will say. \n\n "On the surface, this appears reasonable, but is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the second would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up." \n"A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis." \n"... for 15 centuries the Negro was enslaved and robbed of any wages — potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants. All of America's wealth today could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation. \n\nHe was a leader how did he fail his people. The real question is what is whites excuse not to be successful. When they had 400 years of benefiting for slavery. Somethings black never had, some still do get that benefit. Others wasn't even allowed to vote until 1965.

Well, your question can be reverse?  Why do you  consider whites blaming black...etc..etc?.  It a simple answer, because of the visible "spokesmen".  Unfortunately, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are your "spokesmen".  If you do not want their message being spread then you must silence them.  Just as I must silence the spokesmen of my race that spew hatred.
