Ida B. Wells used her writing and research to become one of the most important anti-lynching advocates in U.S history. Not only that, Ida was one of the founder of the NACW (the National Association of Colored Women) and the NAACP.

This matters to me, because not only was Ida B. Wells an advocate for people of color, she was also a women of color, who advocated for other women of color. Wells was a founder of the NACW, AND the NAACP. A key detail that seems to not be recognized enough is her anti-lynching advocation.

Jack Johnson was an African American heavyweight boxer who made history. Jack Johnson was the first black man to hold the title, "Heavy weight champion" which led a lot of white people to become violent and killed a dozen people, more were injured. People were envious of Jack. The story of Jack matters because people like him step by step made America what it is today and showed colored people it was possible. People often forget the struggle to be "equal" because the battle didnt take place in our timeline but we should not forget about it. We should always be learning stories similar to Jack's to educate ourselves and make the future better.

I learned that Jack Johnson was an African American boxer that was dominant in his time. He was an idol to other African Americans, because of how hard he beat white boxers. This matters because of the influence he gave onto other African Americans, and how they could also beat whites in the battle of racism, and would encourage them to keep on fighting for their rights. Or well that's what i think.

One interesting thing that I learned about Jack Johnson is that he was born to normal lower-class parents, nothing special, and he still went on to win the heavyweight title. This is important because it showed African Americans that they could do anything. He just went up there and beat up a bunch of white boxers that everyone thought were unbeatable. This empowered the African American community and enraged the white community.

Updated after video:

Jack Johnson was a black boxer who ended up winning the heavyweight championship against a white boxer. The white people were scared to face a black boxer in heavyweight because they didn't want to lose. Jack Johnson did it and that is important because it pathed the way for black athletes.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned about Jack Johnson was: Jack Johnson was able to beat a white man at the heavy weight champion. In "The fight of the century" Johnson beat his white competitor. He married 3 white women in his life. He wasn't exactly a hero, but he did step up. There was a lot of backlash for the idea that he wasn't staying in his place. He was rising up above. He was marrying white women, he was beating white people in the ring. He was living his life as a flamboyant and uniquely Jack Johnson way.

It was important to me to think about someone who wasn't neccisarily out protesting and fighting for equal rights, but someone who was making such huge strides for his race and people. Jack Johnson was a trendsetter, and a fighter for equality, yet he never had to go out and preach about equality to show that racism needed to end.

A few interesting things I learned about Marcus Garvey were:

In 1914, he founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

He arrived into the United States at a time when black people were being shown as monsters. They were regularly being lynched. Then he shows up as his eloquent and charismatic self, and is actively proving those ideas wrong.

He believed that black people would never be accepted in the United States, that the place for them was back in Africa, where they could create their own Wakanda-esque home".

This seems super important to me, because he arrived at the perfect time. Marcus Garvey arrived in the United States when black people were being considered monsters, horrible. Garvey shows up with his poise and charisma and, similar to Jack Johnson, challenges all of these stereotypes and ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
An interesting thing I learned about Booker T. Washington was he became his schools (The Hampton Institute for the training of freed men and women) most famous graduate.

Washington was most interested by philosophy.

Booker T. Washington later became the principal and leader of Tuskegee University.

Not only that, Booker presented the "Atlanta Compromise". His most famous and most controversial speech.

It was really interesting to me when I learned that Booker T. Washington became the principal and leader of Tuskegee University. I know that Tuskegee is now what is considered an HBCU, and that there was the Tuskegee pilots (whom I am assuming lived nearby, but likely learned their skills in a different school/location).

Something interesting I learned about W.E.B DuBois was that

In 1895, DuBois became the first African American to earn a PhD from Harvard University.

This was really interesting and impactful to me. Harvard has always been regarded to be a very prestigious (and historically white) college. I had no idea who W.E.B DuBois even was before we started this lesson. Let alone the fact that he had achieved so much. being the first African American to receive a PhD from Harvard is not only super interesting, but very important for the idea and movement towards antiracism and equality.

I learned that Jack Johnson was born in Texas in 1878. He became a boxer and won against many black and white opponents'. He wanted to claim the World Heavy Weight title. In 1908 Jack Johnson defeated Burns and became the Heavy Weight Champion of the world. The public couldn't believe that a black man won, and so the former Heavy Weight Champion Jim Jeffries competed against Jack, and Jack Johnson won. This caused a massive outbreak of racial clashes, over a dozen people were killed, and hundreds were injured. He married three black women, which in most states was illegal. "He pushed back the constraints of inequality." In 1946 he died in a car crash, which changed the world of sports. Jack Johnsons story is important in our history because he shoves Americans today that black people are just as capable to achieve great things, and can be better then White people. I think that his story is especially important in sports because he opened a whole new perspective, and gave hope to black Americans.

She helped establish the Anti-Lynching Society in 1894, and in 1895 she published The Red Record. In 1898 she took her Anti-Lynching campaign to the White house, and fought against discrimination. All of her work as a black woman is important in our history because she stood up for black people, and fought against unrightful punishment with her words. Her writing expressed the hardships of black Americans and what they faced, and she was able to change some individuals thinking about lynching. She helped inspire people to fight against discrimination, like the Civil Rights Movement, and Black Lives Matter Movement.

This matters because going back to Booker T. Washington of being a member of NAACP, Ida was also part of it as well which was valuable for the early hardships for Black Americans civil rights and it was widely spread as an inspiration for activists and journalists. Other than that, I can give an example of how she published a book " The Red Record" which brought horrors of lynching so she wrote about Black People getting killed in cold blood and getting fake claims of rape/assaults. This resulted how Black Americans were treated unequally and false claims throughout history.

He was known by the public and the audiences of boxing fans to be known as the one one of the best heavyweights of all time. This matters because when Jack battled against his opponents, they were all white, and lots of White boxers doubt in the abilities of Black people to be able to compete against White boxers or stand a chance against them. But, Jack proved them wrong because they beat all the people that doubt him and stand on top. At this time, most people did not know that Africans can compete to this level, and it could be mainly white people.

Washington lead the Tuskegee institute to become one of the best institutions in higher learning for African Americans in 1900. In 1895 he delivered the Atlantic Compromise, he urged African Americans to focus on long-term economic development rather then fighting for their civil and political rights. He wanted African Americans to become land owners, business owners and build institutions of their own by acting like white people. He funded anti-discrimination lawsuits, against Jim Crow segregation. This matters because he was trying to find a way to solve everyone's problems, and I think he had the right idea, but a lot of times people still discriminated against black individuals no matter what. I think for some people like Booker T. Washington got lucky because they were able to be respected by becoming an assimilationist, but a lot of times when people assimilate they loose themselves, and not everyone who assimilated were treated humanly.
