This matters because...

The Jack Johnson video was blocked.

An interesting thing I found about W.E.B DuBois was that he became a successful influential writer. A piece of his “The Souls of Black Folk” was good enough to be compared to Uncles Tom Cabin for the importance of the book. This matters because it allowed him to voice and amplify the experiences and struggles him himself and other African Americans have experienced. And as a highly educated person like him (PhD from Harvard) he was able to write with credibility and legitimacy.

An Interesting thing that i learned about W.E.D Dubois was that he became involved in the pan-african movement.

This is important because the movement is having africans encourage solidarity around the world. and W.E.D DuBois encouraged nations to fight against racism an d grant political rights to those of african ancestry.

A thing I learnt about Marcus Garvey is that he thought separation was better than integration. This matters because his statement just about contradicted all the progress people like W.E.B Dubois hoped and advocated for. Even with this belief though, Marcus Garvey founded UNIA, a racial uplift organization that promoted Black nationalism.

Phillip Nguyen

2024-11-01 22:05:42 UTC

Something interesting that I learned about W.E.B. DuBois was that he was the first person ever to publish a scientific sociological in the United States. The importance of this is amplified when you realized that never before had any educated white person published a study like this. Only when a black person educated themselves would the issue of sociology be addressed.

Chase Hodge

An important thing i learned about Booker T. Washington is that Booker was an principal and leader of tuskegee institute.

This information is important because, under Booker T washington's direction Tuskegee became one of the leading institutions of higher learning for african americans in the country.

I learn that Ida B. Wells was a Co-owner of a newspaper she wrote editorials about Lynchings

Phillip Nguyen

2024-11-01 22:18:53 UTC

An important thing that I learned about Booker T. Washington was his stance in the fight for black equality. The way he pushes for black people to be accommodating towards white people seems backwards, and there are people in the video who say this, but it's interesting how he still puts funds towards completely antiracist laws. This shows his intentions for an America where blacks are free, but his method of getting there may be more roundabout.

Phillip Nguyen

2024-11-01 22:26:01 UTC

Something interesting that I learned about Marcus Garvey was his push for returning black people back to Africa. His stance shows the most extreme version of "freedom" for the black people by directly freeing them from the entirety of the United States. The fact that his movement gained popularity shows how little hope there was at the time that things could work out between black and white people.

Avery H

2024-11-01 22:27:35 UTC

One thing I learned about the W.E.B DuBois is that was the first African American to graduate from Harvard that at the time was filled with white people that were racist. This matters WEBDuBois graduating from Harvard proved the stereotype that black people couldn't be smart, and are "savages" was wrong and this guided other black people to believe that they could also prove the stereotype wrong.

Phillip Nguyen

2024-11-01 22:36:10 UTC

An interesting thing that I learned about Ida B. Wells was the fact that she continued to make publications despite being aware of the lynching going on, knowing that she would be targeted for doing this. The strategies she used to avoid be linked to her publications show how hard it was for black people to put their voice out there without being killed.

Finhas

2024-11-01 22:37:23 UTC

I learned that Jack Johnson was a type of hero for the black communitiy because he inspired people to stand up against racial hate and people wanted to be more like him.

Mia H

2024-11-02 04:06:37 UTC

An interesting thing I learnt about Booker T. Washington was his complex thinking behind things. In a speech he delivered which later came to be known as the Atlanta Compromise, he impresses the white audience by saying Black people should rather adjust their focus from their civil and political rights to economic development. This is important because in all seriousness, he meant no harm in dismissing their actions to justice but just wanted more people to have education.

Evie Nelson

2024-11-02 22:03:18 UTC

An interesting thing I learned is that W.E.B. DuBois co-founded the NAACP (the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) He primarily edited the organizations monthly publication, The Crisis, which became incredibly popular. This is important because the NAACP would go on to win Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled segregated schooling unconstitutional.

Sebastian

2024-11-04 19:22:16 UTC

something that i learned was that W.E.B was the first African to receive a Phd. this mattered because Harvard was an all white university he overcame the stereotype.

Sebastian

2024-11-04 19:29:00 UTC

the thing i learned was that booker T Washington became the first principal and leader of the Tuskegee institution in 1881 a school for African Americans. this matters because it was able to bring higher learning to the African American's in the county and challenge Crows segregation

Sebastian

2024-11-04 19:31:56 UTC

Marcus Garvey founded the UNIA helping the black people unite across America. he had allot of hope for the African American people around the world.

Sebastian

2024-11-04 19:36:00 UTC

something i learned from Ida B. was a member of the NAACP, that fought against black segregation and also represented the black women can be leaders as gender equality.

Zander

2024-11-04 19:56:10 UTC

Something I learned was, W.E.B DuBois was the first African American to get a PHD, and he went to two collages, an HBCU and Harvard which at the time was an all white school.

Zander

2024-11-04 20:01:15 UTC

Something I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he was the first principal of the Tuskegee institution, an African American school. This matters because he was able to use his knowledge to bring a real high level of education to African American students, which helped challenge segregation and helped African Americans reach new levels of education and equality in a racist white world.

Zander

2024-11-04 20:05:49 UTC

Something I learned about Marcus Garvey was his stance on "freeing" African Americans from America, by sending them back to Africa. This movement was very popular which mattered because it showed how many people at that time had made the "decision" that white and black people would never be able to "equal".

Zander

2024-11-04 20:11:40 UTC

Something I learned about Ida B. Wells was her perseverance to keep publishing and publicizing racist topics despite lynching being very active and the fact that she was definitely targeted due to her non-stop publication.

Zander

2024-11-04 23:11:07 UTC

Jack Johnson pushed back on racial inequalities with his status as the heavyweight champion by marrying white women and being in places where white men said he "shouldn't be". Jack Johnson wasn't necessarily a hero as much as a figure who people watched break societal norms.

Will

2024-11-04 23:12:15 UTC

Something I learned, about Jack Johnson was that he was a very talented boxer that caused controversy because of how good he was, especially after defeating the Formidable boxer that came out of retirement, James, J Jefferies.

Mia H

2024-11-04 23:13:01 UTC

Something that I learned about Jack Johnson was that he was an extraordinary boxer. He really exceeded in his career of boxing. And a moment to remember in his career was in 1908 Johnson became a champion. This is important because Jack Johnson led on to be recognized as a top boxer. Letting others know that they have an opportunity to make accomplishments like him.

Natalie G.

2024-11-04 23:13:25 UTC

What I learned about W.E.B DuBois was that he was the first African American to receive a PHD from an (at the time) all white school. This fought against the stereotype that only white people could go to school.

Phillip Nguyen

2024-11-04 23:13:27 UTC

Something interesting that I learned about Jack Johnson in this video was that he wasn't well liked by a lot of black people. This is a detail that adds on to what we know about Jack (from the book Stamped), and it shows us that not everyone considered him as an "avatar" for the black community. It shows that his flamboyancy wasn't appreciated by every black person.

Seijiro

2024-11-04 23:14:03 UTC

Something I learned about Jack Johnson is that he was unapologetically himself. This is important because in his time the Jim Crow Laws were in full effect, forcing the Black community into boxes designed to make them less like themselves and more like the Whites. The Jim Crow Laws also forced extreme segregation upon Black people, and Jack Johnson broke through this by marrying white women.

Avery H

2024-11-04 23:17:01 UTC

An interesting thing that I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he founded the Tuskegee institution in 1881 which was an African American school.

This matters because it ended up becoming one of the leading institutions for African Americans in the country.

Natalie G.

2024-11-04 23:17:01 UTC

Something I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he was the founder pd the Tuskegee Institute which gave African Americans opportunities to pursue a higher education. This helped give African Americans a chance in having better education.

Kurbel

2024-11-04 23:17:06 UTC

i learned from the W.E.B and the Dubois he was the very first black african american to recieve a PHD from a school restricted to white people

Will

2024-11-04 23:17:16 UTC

One thing i learned about Ida B. Wells, is that she was an American hero thet fought for the stop of lynching's and sexism. This is very important and matters because without her, we might have been very behind on human rights.

Mia H

2024-11-04 23:18:09 UTC

Something I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she was a person who took initiative. Back then, lynching and other crimes like this often took place, often with the victims not being charged with any crime. Many bystanders were scared of speaking out with fear of there being a target on their back. This matters because Ida B. Wells had enough courage to speak out, she wasn't just brave but also strategic.

Seijiro

2024-11-04 23:19:05 UTC

Something I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he became the first Black person to receive a PhD at Harvard, an at the time all white school. This is important because it paved the way for Black education in the future, letter other Black students know that anything was possible.

Kyzer

2024-11-04 23:20:47 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he is the first African American to earn a PhD from Harvard. This matters because he probably inspired a wave of African Americans by graduating from a white college and proceeding to have a successful and influential career after.

Natalie G.

2024-11-04 23:21:15 UTC

Something I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she fought against sexism and lynching. She was brave enough to speak up about these problems and made an impact.

Cypress

2024-11-04 23:21:29 UTC

Something I learned about Jack Johnson is that he was one of the best boxers of his time and was such an influential figure in boxing because he made history by becoming a heavyweight champion even though he was Black which then inspired many other black people to work towards greatness in the sports industry and in other things because they thought that if Jack Johnson who was a black man and one who was not particularly liked could become a heavyweight world champion then they could be successful in whatever they wanted to do as well.

nick

2024-11-04 23:22:43 UTC

i learned that w. e. b. dubois was the first black man to graduate from harvard and was the first to get a phd too this matters cause it was a benifet to breaking the color barrier

Abdi M

2024-11-04 23:24:29 UTC

One intriguing fact I discovered about W.E.B. DuBois was that he rose to prominence as a writer. A passage from his book "The Souls of Black Folk" was significant enough to be likened to Uncle Tom Cabin. This is significant because it gave him the opportunity to express and magnify the hardships and difficulties that he and other African Americans had gone through. And he was able to write with authenticity and credibility because he was a highly educated

Henry N

2024-11-04 23:24:45 UTC

One thing I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he was the first African American to successfully graduate from a racist filled Harvard, this matters because his success made it possible for other African Americans to graduate from Harvard/

Seijiro

2024-11-04 23:25:02 UTC

Something I learned about Booker T. Washington is that following his graduation from The Hampton Institute, he founded the Tuskegee Institute, one of the leading institutions of higher learning for African Americans. This is important because his hard work gave African Americans throughout the country a chance at higher education, something they couldn't acquire before due to strict segregation laws. He empowered the Black community through his teachings and shared knowledge.

Natalie G.

2024-11-04 23:25:25 UTC

Marcus Garvey wanted to send African Americans back to Africa because he thought they could never be equal to white people. This is bad because it meant he supported segregation.

2024-11-04 23:25:47 UTC

Something I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she stayed true to her work no matter the risk. She kept publishing racist topics even though black people were being lynched very frequently she was never afraid and kept fighting for black people by spreading information.

Evie Nelson

2024-11-04 23:26:26 UTC

Something interesting I learned about Booker T. Washington is that he founded the Tuskeegee Institute in 1881. This is important because Tuskeegee was the first university for African Americans. In addition to this, Washington had many contributions to sociology, such as the Atlanta Compromise speech, where he says that black people should focus on economic developments and bettering their education.

Sudaysi

2024-11-04 23:26:30 UTC

Wells, Ida B. An African-American activist and journalist led a campaign against lynching in the United States in the 1890s. She also supported women's suffrage. led an anti-lynching effort in the 1890s in the United States.

Astrid R.

2024-11-04 23:27:25 UTC

I learned that Ida B. wells was one of the most important anti-lynching advocates in America. She spoke out when others were scared to. She was a very important figure and fought against black segregation as well as showing that black women can be leaders.

Kyzer

2024-11-04 23:28:22 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about Booker T. Washington is that he delivered a speech known as The Atlanta Compromise where he urged African Americans to focus on long term economic development rather than fighting for civil rights. This matters because it highlighted his assimilationist beliefs. He stated that black people should become useful to white people, not agitate them.

Henry N

2024-11-04 23:29:28 UTC

One thing I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he founded the Tuskegee Institute somewhere in 1881, this matters because it is the first university for African Americans and it allows them to get educations previously not as accessible.

2024-11-04 23:29:50 UTC

2024-11-04 23:30:33 UTC

One of the most significant things I discovered about Booker T. Washington was his position in the struggle for African equality. It's fascinating that he continues to fund laws that are antiracist, even though some of the people in the film believe that his push for black people to be accommodative of white people is backwards. This demonstrates his goals for a free America for Black people, yet his approach to achieving them might be more clever.

Sudaysi

2024-11-04 23:32:44 UTC

A prominent personality in the early 20th century, Marcus Garvey was instrumental in promoting black nationalism and pan-Africanism. His efforts were mostly focused on founding the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), which aimed to promote self-reliance and self-determination while bringing individuals of African origin together on a global scale.

Abdi M

2024-11-04 23:39:31 UTC

Marcus Garvey's position on "freeing" African Americans from America by sending them back to Africa is something I learnt about him. Since it demonstrated how many individuals at the time had come to the "decision" that white and black people would never be able to "equalize," this movement's popularity was significant.

Kyzer

2024-11-05 21:53:17 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about Marcus Garvey is that he founded the UNIA which worked to unite black people. This matters because it is one of the very first movements that addressed racial oppression and gave the idea that black people should reclaim their identity by moving back to Africa.

Kyzer

2024-11-05 21:56:14 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about Ida B. Wells is that her anti-lynching campaign was so impactful that it brought international attention to the racial violence black people faced. This matters because she helped lay the groundwork for future generations of activists.

Lydia

2024-11-06 05:56:35 UTC

One thing I learned about W.E.B DuBois was that he was an influential person and that he published a book "The Souls Of Black Folks" that was nearly important and popular as "Uncle Toms Cabin". This matters because it was him using an opportunity to share his voice about what hardships he had to face and what other African Americans faced as well.

Mallory Avalos

2024-11-06 21:55:25 UTC

What I learned was that Du Bois was one of the most influential African American thinkers of the 20th century, he also earned a Bachelor's degree from Fisk. He was the first African American to earn a PhD from Harvard University, and he also encouraged nations to fight against racism and grant political rights to those of African ancestry. This matters because this shows that you can basically accomplish anything in your life without it having to do with your skin color or your race, and how using your voice can make a impact to others.

nick

2024-11-06 22:04:14 UTC

i learned that booker t Washington was the founder of the first university for African Americans. The Tuskegee institute in 1881 and gave opportunity's to people who wanted to learn that couldn't previously.

Seijiro

2024-11-06 22:07:52 UTC

Something significant that I learned about Marcus Garvey is that he strived for Black independence and power. He did this by trying to establish a place in Africa in which Black Americans could live on and govern and own their own land. This movement garnered much support and showed that Black people were capable of organizing and uplifting each other.

nick

2024-11-06 22:10:35 UTC

a thing i learned about Marcus Garvey is he had a unique idea he thought they could never be equal to white people and thought they should be divided and African American people should be sent back to Africa.

Seijiro

2024-11-06 22:12:32 UTC

Something that stood out to me about Ida B. Wells is her bravery. In a time when lynching was extremely popular and was happening left and right to Black people she still stood against it and voiced her opinion publicly. She used her position as the co-owner of a newspaper to spread the message and stood firmly against the atrocities that Black people were facing. Although this made her a clear target, she felt passionately about lynching and made her voice heard, in the process bringing people together and leading the way in putting an end to the horrific act.

nick

2024-11-06 22:14:26 UTC

i learned that Ida b wells was an activist who had in huge part in speaking on the problem of hate crimes and lynching people often stayed quite not wanting to be part of any of the violence but she spoke out and addressed the issue

Mallory Avalos

2024-11-06 22:16:41 UTC

What I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he was heading for the Hampton institute, in 1895 Booker T. Washington delivered his most famous and controversial address, which became known as the Atlanta Compromise. He also thought that it was best for African Americans to gain an industrial education. Overall, why this matters based of the video is because he really tried to help out his community during the time they were struggling to get their equality with white people, and he helped out Black people to get education that probably themselves thought that they couldn't get, due to racism. He thought about others and not just himself.

nick

2024-11-06 22:17:23 UTC

jack Johnson story inspired millions of people around the world he showed people that African American people could do anything a white man could do after he beat every opponent they threw at him

Astrid R.

2024-11-06 22:21:44 UTC

Marcus Garvey was a leader who immigrated from Jamaica to the United States and founded the revolutionary social movement. He wanted to unite the negro race in the country (UNIA). This matters because he saw that Africans were being divided and wanted to reunite everyone back to Africa since he believed they would be free and accepted there since that was their native home.

Astrid R.

2024-11-07 05:09:51 UTC

I learned that booker T. Washington was Hamptons institute most famous graduate. He was the first president of the Tuskegee institution, which was a school for African Americans and later became a higher learning institution for African Americans. He believed that it was important for African Americans to gain an industrial education. Which is why he pushed other Africans to focus on long term economic development instead of continuing to fight for their rights. This is important because he wanted people from his roots to gain a education and put that above everything else.

Astrid R.

2024-11-07 05:20:42 UTC

I learned that Jack Johnson was a very popular boxer/fighter during his time who won against many other white and black boxers. And earned the world heavyweight title. Which was a very important achievement for a black man during this time because black people weren't viewed as being capable of being leaders. This is important because he proved black people can do just as much as white people can and pushed back against the constraints of racial inequality.

Mallory Avalos

2024-11-07 07:49:14 UTC

What I learned was that Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican political leader, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator who was a leading figure in the Pan-Africanism movement. He founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, through which he advocated for the unity of all people of African descent.

Garvey's ideas and philosophy were influential in the Black nationalist movement of the early 20th century. He is considered one of the most important figures in the history of Black nationalism. This matters because his emphasis on Black pride, self-reliance, and economic empowerment is still important for Black people around the world. His vision is also still relevant, as many African countries continue to struggle with poverty, inequality, and political instability.

Mallory Avalos

2024-11-07 07:53:41 UTC

What I learned was that Ida B. Wells was an amazing woman who fought for justice and equality. She was born into slavery in 1862, but that didn't stop her from becoming a teacher, journalist, and activist.

She was a leading figure in the anti-lynching movement. She co-founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). She was a suffragist who fought for women's right to vote. This matters because it helped to shape the civil rights movement. She was a brave and courageous woman who used her voice to speak out against injustice.

Mallory Avalos

2024-11-07 07:57:43 UTC

I learned that Jack Johnson was an amazing athlete and a trailblazer for African Americans. He was the first African American world heavyweight boxing champion. Johnson's life was full of challenges. He faced racism and discrimination both inside and outside the boxing ring. But he never gave up. He was a strong and determined fighter who proved that African Americans could succeed at the highest level. Why this matters is because he helped to break down barriers for African Americans. He showed the world that African Americans were talented and capable. He was a role model for many people, and his story continues to inspire people today.

Lydia

2024-11-07 23:22:57 UTC

What I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he founded, became the principle, and the leader of Tuskegee Institute, which was the school for African Americans. He wanted African Americans to focus on long term economic development rather than continuing to fight for their civil and political rights. This matters because it was the first university for African Americans. He also wanted them to have a higher and better education.

Lydia

2024-11-08 02:33:31 UTC

What I learned was that Marcus Garvey was from Jamacia and born into poverty. He grew up viewing racism through the lens of British Colonialism. When he moved to America, lynching was common in the south, and the racist movie "The Birth Of a Nation" was popular. These events influenced him to start a Back to Africa movement. Garvey wanted to free American Black's from the harsh racism that they faced in America, believing that they could only live a life of freedom and dignity in Africa. Charged with mail fraud by the FBI, he was deported in 1927 and never returned to America. Despite that, he was still an influential person who played a large role in uniting black people globally.
