An interesting thing I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is....

This matters because...

One thing I've learned that was really cool was that W.E.B. DuBois lived in Massachusetts most of his life, since that's where I lived for 8 years! I did not realize when initially researching this person that in Massachusetts was where the first anti-slavery group was founded, and where the NAACP was founded. The NAACP was a revolutionary group of its time that believed in black power, and it was really cool that it was founded where I used to live!

An interesting thing I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he fought for equal rights but he did so in an assimilationist way. This matters because there were many activist's who fought for the rights, but they all did it in different ways and DuBois did so in an assimilationist way which made him unliked by people like Booker T. Washington.

Brigham Stowell

2024-11-01 18:01:00 UTC

I learned that Booker T. Washington was a assimilationist, and that even though he advocated for African American rights he allowed some segregation to not make the whites too "afraid" and lash out at them. I always thought that Booker T. Washington was a anti-racist because of the policies he supported. But now, I know that just because someone vocally supports something doesn't mean they also support the other side like Booker T. Washington did. He was both a anti-racist and a assimilationist during parts of his life.

One thing i learned about WEB DuBois was that he published a study titled "the Philadelphia negro" which was important because it was a breakthrough in scientology. He also wrote a letter to the world a bout fighting racism and political rights which showed that WEB DuBois was an antiracist who wanted the world to move forward and helped get us to where we are now with rights.

Something interesting I learned about W.E.B. DuBois was the first black man to get a Ph.D. from Harvard. This was important because it created the opportunity for many African Americans to do the same.

Nolan VanBuskirk

2024-11-01 18:03:11 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that the book he wrote titled "The Philadelphia negro," was considered an breakthrough accomplishment because it was the first scientific sociological study done in the united states. This matters because it represents the power and capability that black people have that the white people refused to believe at the time.

Cora Winger

2024-11-01 18:03:29 UTC

One thing I learned about W.E.B. Dubois is that in 1891 he became the first African American to earn a PHD from Harvard. This matters because it proved that African Americans could do the same things as White people and that they could push the limits set upon them.

Nora Elmi

2024-11-01 18:05:34 UTC

An Interesting thing I learned about W.E.B DuBois is that he was involved in the Pan-African Movement which is a movement that encouraged solidarity for Africans around the world. This matters because even though W.E.B DuBois was involved in this movement he fought for African peoples rights in an Assimilationist way.

Sebastian Saldin

2024-11-01 18:05:42 UTC

An fact I learned about W.E.B DuBois is he was the first african american to receive a phd from Harvard University. This is an amazing feat, pathing away for future generations of minorities to come. This is important because having someone to look up to and has done it before makes it easier to follow your dreams and make it a reality. This breakthrough as well has his book writing breakthrough solidifies W.E.B DuBois in history.

Ezra

2024-11-01 18:05:59 UTC

and interesting thing I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he was a very prominent writer and that he helped co-found the NAACP. this matters because he probably became a big figure in the African American community.

One interesting thing I learned about Booker T. Washington is that he became the most well-known alumni of his school, the Hampton Institute for the Training of Freed Men and Women, and that he eventually became Tuskege University's leader and principal.
The "Atlanta Compromise" was announced by him, which is his most well-known speech.

Brigham Stowell

2024-11-01 18:07:27 UTC

I learned that when Garvey brought the UNIA movement to the U.S., he was brought under the scrutiny of the American government. They launched charges against him as he was breaking their "Moral code" and deported him in 1927, only 9 years later after he moved to the U.S. from Jamacia. This really highlights how America was run then, as the literal President authorized this investigation and deportation of a black liberator. I'm glad that our government is not like this now, but am also worried we wouldn't see the racism now like how they didn't see it back then.

River Miles

2024-11-01 18:07:27 UTC

One thing i learned about Booker T. Washington was that in the late 1800s he set out on a 500 mile journey to the Hampton university for freed black women and men. He became the most famous graduate and was a leader of the Tuskegee institute which was a school for African Americans. this is important because Booker T. Washington helped Tuskegee become one of leading institutions for African Americans to have a higher learning and be treated as such.

Brandon Hu

2024-11-01 18:07:41 UTC

I learned that Booker T. Washington also fought for equal rights as an assimilationist but he did so in a different way than DuBois. This is because he believed that Black people should just accept there position as working individuals instead of trying to move up to positions of power. In this way he also tried to segregate the two races as Black people would stay in working class groups while White people would still hold there positions of power without diversity.

Nolan VanBuskirk

2024-11-01 18:07:56 UTC

Something important that I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he was a assimilationist, though he cared very much about African American rights, he however did allow segregation to kind of win over the white people's opinion. This matters because it represents that Booker T. Washington did put thought into what he was doing but it showed him as a two faced person.

Miles

2024-11-01 18:08:44 UTC

Something I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he taught at three different colleges which included Wilberforce University, University of Pennsylvania, and Atlanta University. He also wrote a book called "The Souls of Black Folk" which still remains influential in African-American literature and history. This matters because now I know he was a very accomplished man and didn't do things for himself.

Emma Null

2024-11-01 18:09:09 UTC

An interesting thing I learned W. E. B. DuBois was that he also published his first book which was considered a breakthrough because it was the first scientific sociological study done in the United States. This is important because not only did he get an Phd from Harvard but he also helped break the barrier, became an influential person and was an early advocate for civil right.

Sebastian Saldin

2024-11-01 18:09:15 UTC

I learned that in a way, Booker T. Washington was two-faced. This means his policies and ideas on one end may not show the full story or what he truly believes on the other. He was an assimilationist, even though his policies without context showed otherwise. This matters because is important to know what is behind the policies and the real biases and beliefs people have to make real change in the future.

Eyosiyas

2024-11-01 18:09:26 UTC

Something that i found interesting about the W.E.B DuBois was that they had made a book that was almost just as popular and influential as Uncle Toms Cabin. This matters because it was an important weapon that the African Americans could use.

Eli Policarpio

2024-11-01 18:09:30 UTC

Something that I learned about W.E.B DuBois is that he was the first ever African American man to get a PHD from Harvard. This matters because it set a point in the United States history and Harvard's history.

Calder Stone

2024-11-01 18:09:38 UTC

An interesting thing that I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he was the first black man to get a Ph.D. form Harvard. This is important because Harvard was created as a way to keep African Americans down and to teach the upper class important things that could not be learned elsewhere.

Cora Winger

2024-11-01 18:10:31 UTC

I learned that Booker T. Washington became the principle and leader of the Tuskegee Institute in 1881, and he turned it into one of the leading institutions for higher learning in America. This is important because it shows how he forged his own way and got a higher education and then used that to create an easier path for those after him to gain a higher education.

gina u.

2024-11-01 18:10:35 UTC

One thing i learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he was a writer, and i so learned that he taught at Wilberforce university in Pennsylvania. Another thing i thought was interesting was that he was the first African American to graduate Harvard University. This is important because it shows how much work he did to prove himself and how it paid off. It shows to always follow your dreams no matter what.

Eli Policarpio

2024-11-01 18:11:46 UTC

What I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he was a assimilationist he also cared a lot of the rights of black people he let segregation win with white people. This matters because it shows things about a historical more famous person and what he represented and did.

Nora Elmi

2024-11-01 18:11:58 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about Booker T. Washington is that he was an Assimilationist. Even though he cared about African people and their rights he also didn't want to push it too far and stated that the best way to ensure your future is to make yourself useful to white people. This matters because Booker T. Washington was trying to put this idea of having to follow white people so your future is assured.

Ezra

2024-11-01 18:12:53 UTC

an interesting thing I learned about Booker T. Washington is that he actually supported people in the African American community it get more involved in industrial education and work. this is important because his actions mostly set these people back rather and lead them forward.

Brigham Stowell

2024-11-01 18:13:04 UTC

I learned that Ida B. Wells was a female journalist in the 1820s, and she was famous for writing about the famous lynching's of black people that were common back then. Her works were influential in shedding light on their stories, some of them close to her heart as her friends were lynched in 1982. Ida B. Wells journalist story matters as she was one of the first journalists and definitely the first female one to cover racism in her day and age. She was a brave women, and I hope we can have that courage today to live up to her legacy.

Sebastian Saldin

2024-11-01 18:14:06 UTC

I learned that Marcus Garvey was deported by the U.S. Government in 1927, for a terrible reason. Marcus Garvey was deported for breaking something that the government called the "Moral code" instead of an actual tangible reason. This matters because learning about unjust and immoral things helps us fight back and reign equality in the future.

Torin Stephens

2024-11-01 18:14:07 UTC

W.E.B DuBois went to Harvard and was the first African to get a PhD at Harvard later he became a writer.

Blake Moy

2024-11-01 18:14:25 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is that he published many successful books and articles such as the "The Souls of the Black Folk" & "Talented Tenth." This matters because I feel its an overshadowed part of his story. When you google his name you are likely to see his achievements and movements such as the NAACP and being the first African American to receive a PHD from Harvard but it is not until you scroll for a while that his writings appear and you actually able to see what he believed from his own first hand accounts.

Brandon Hu

2024-11-01 18:14:31 UTC

I learned that Marcus Garvey was anti-racist segregationist as he thought that it would be better for African Americans to move to Africa and form their own society free of racism. This is important because he promoted Black pride instead of trying to get Black people to like White people in the U.S. which is the opposite of people like DuBois.

River Miles

2024-11-01 18:14:45 UTC

Something i learned about Marcus Garvey was that in 1914 he founded the UNIA which helped all the black people unite throughout the world because he believed it was important to better industrial, educational, and political conditions. This is important because he lived in a time where African Americans were regularly lynched in the south and depicted as horrible creatures on the media like movies and books. Marcus Garvey helped people reach a point of black pride and to fight to be equal.

Rex

2024-11-01 18:15:29 UTC

An interesting thing that i learned about W.E.B DuBois. Is that he was the very first African American to graduate from Harvard university. This is important because it showed a lot of other African Americans that they could achieve greatness. Paving the way for future generations of minorities to go to college and graduate. He also wrote a very famous book, called the souls of black folk. Which is as important to the black community as uncle toms cabin is.

Period 3 - Jason Nguyen

2024-11-01 18:15:51 UTC

Something I learned about W.E.B DuBois is he became the first African American person to receive a PHD from Harvard University. This matters a lot because since he was the first African American to receive a PHD of a colored minority compared to white people, it sets up a great example of his future generations to go into a 4-year university. Not only a university, but a very prestigious ivy league school. He became a very great writer and wrote a couple books and worked hard to prove that Black People can be like White people in America. Many people of colored groups don't really get the opportunity to graduate from college because they grew up poor and did not receive any educational opportunities.

Eli Policarpio

2024-11-01 18:15:57 UTC

What I learned about Marcus Garvey is that he brought the UNIA movement to the United States. Although him moving the UNIA to the U.S. he was under very close observation from the government but was later deported for breaking a " moral code". This is important because it shows the differences between the government then and up until now.

Sasha

2024-11-01 18:16:20 UTC

Something I learned about W.E.B. DuBois was he was one of the influential parts of the Pan-African movement. DuBois wrote a letter to the world motivating community's every where to stop racism and grant political right to people of African ancestry. Deloise's letter was very important for people everywhere to reflect and think about anti racism, his letter also led to more Pan-African congress meeting that would eventually start the idea and movement of the "civilizing" of African Americans.

Cora Winger

2024-11-01 18:16:54 UTC

Something I learned is that Marcus Garvey created the largest popular political movement in the history of Black America which was then used against him by the US Government and the FBI to arrest and deport him. This matters because it shows what the US was (and is) willing to do to create and control the ideas and lines of thinking they want.

Donica Marzan

2024-11-01 18:17:03 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about W.E.B DuBois is when he helped the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to organized tasks to edit monthly publications which one of them became popular and it was called "The Crisis". This matters because he advocated for his rights which gives off an example of being an assimilationist but early on the 1920's, he was disliked. Including Booker T. Washington.

Nolan VanBuskirk

2024-11-01 18:17:28 UTC

Something important that I leaned about Marcus Garvey is that when he brought the UNIA to the U.S. he was widely hated by the American government and was then deported to Jamacia. This is important because it represents how the government here doesn't care, they kind of just decide dependent on the color of your skin back then.

Emma Null

2024-11-01 18:18:09 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about Booker T. Washington was that he became the principle of Tuskegee Institute and made it one of the leading institutes of higher learning for African Americans in the country. This brought fame to him and he began to give speeches, saying that Black people should focus on economic development instead of political and civil rights. This matters because people have different views on him, some believed that he was trying to lead African Americans back to slavery, but he also did things that showed he understood the problem of segregation.

Brigham stowell

2024-11-01 18:18:13 UTC

First, the video link didn't work but here's what i learned from Wikipedia on him. I was super surprised to find out that Jack Johnson was actually the first heavyweight black boxer in the world. He was a beacon of hope for African Americans during his reign that coincided with the Jim Crow era. His life was very important to segregated folks in America because when he won the title, the Jim crow laws were going into effect and there was a lot of persecution going on in America. He uplifted their spirits, and gave them the courage to rise up and form protests against the racist laws and win themselves freedom!

Eli Policarpio

2024-11-01 18:18:38 UTC

What I learned about Ida B. Wells was that she was a female journalist in the 1800's. What she was famous for was writing about all of the black lynching's that went on during that time. This matters because it was her writing history in the making which we can now look at and read in todays day and age.

Nora Elmi

2024-11-01 18:19:03 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about Marcus Garvey is that in 1914 he founded an UNIA movement and brought it to the US which reunited all the black people. Marcus Garvey was an anti racist who wanted to bring black pride to Africans instead of telling them to be like white people. This matters because even though there was movies that were showing racist pictures of Africans drawing them out to be monsters Marcus Garvey wanted to show black pride.

Miles

2024-11-01 18:19:09 UTC

Something interesting I learned was that Booker T. Washington was an assimilationist and wanted to help African Americans be able to live better lives. He founded the Tuskegee Institute which was just a start for African American educational institutions and empowering the community. This matters because he didn't just want to have better lives for himself and other African Americans he wanted to change their lives.

Sebastian Saldin

2024-11-01 18:19:16 UTC

I learned that in 1895, Ida published the book "The Red Record" which brough to light the horrors of lynching. She wrote about masses of black people who were killed in cold blood, and African American men who were lynched due to false claims of rape and sexual assault. This book was crucial and mattered a ton because exposing these lies proves the unjust treatment black people have gone through in our history and Ida B. Wells is a symbol of that.

Calder Stone

2024-11-01 18:19:44 UTC

An interesting thing that i learned about Booker T. Washington is that his most famous speech, known as the "the Atlanta Compromise", was about how African Americans needed to stop pushing for their rights because this was bothering the white people, and instead start form the bottom and work their way to the top slowly so that white people could get used to them. This is important because he was telling African Americans to just keep their heads down and stay out of the way.

Ezra

2024-11-01 18:20:52 UTC

and interesting thing I learned about Marcus Garvey is that he was the face of the modern back to Africa movement. this is important because it was his solution to better industrial, commercial, education, social, and political condition for the African American community.

gina u

2024-11-01 18:20:53 UTC

What i learned about Booker T. Washington is that he urged African Americans to focus more on education and work, rather than focusing on their rights. This matters because he wanted to "be more useful for white people" rather than trying to become equals.

Eli Policarpio

2024-11-01 18:21:07 UTC

The link did not work but here is what I found on Jack Johnson is that he was the fist ever Black heavyweight boxer of that day. This matters because he was a source of hope for other black people and marked a crucial piece of Americas history and the history of boxing.

Coral Dixon

2024-11-01 18:21:40 UTC

Something that i learned about W.E.B DuBois is that he was the first black man to receive a PhD from Harvard University. This is important because it meant that he showed other black people that they can do that too, which most likely was a main reason that he was so influential, because people were inspired by him.

Rex

2024-11-01 18:22:19 UTC

An interesting thing i learned about Booker T. Washington, is that he traveled 500 miles across the state of Virginia to reach the Hampton institute. A college that he attended and then graduated, becoming the most famous graduate ever from the Hampton institute. He then went on to lead the Tuskegee institute, and under his direction it thrived. Becoming one of the leading institutions of higher learning for the black community.

Paige Kamin

2024-11-01 18:23:25 UTC

Something interesting I learned about W.E.B DuBois was he was able to attended Fisk College in Nashville Tennessee due to donations from his church, and neighbors. After he received a Bachelor's degree at Fisk he decided to enroll at Harvard. He paid for his education from his friends, scholarships, and summer jobs. In 1891 he received his second Bachelor's degree, and in 1885 he became the first African American to acquire a PhD at Harvard University. He taught in two universities, and published his first important study in 1899 which was titled "The Philadelphia Ne*ro" and was considered to be the first scientific sociological done in the U.S.. DuBois was involved in the Pan-African Movement, and drafted a letter to the world, which encouraged nations to fight against racism. DuBois wrote a book titled "The Talented Tenth," which referred to one tenth of African Americans who would become leaders. His most important work was titled "The Souls of Black Folk," which has been said to be as important as the story of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." DuBois also co-founded the NAACP, and wrote many articles for "The Crisis." This matters because Dubois stood up for African people, and fought for change in his writing and his actions. He showed people that African individuals can excel as much as white people, and that if you put your mind to it you can do anything.

Nolan VanBuskirk

2024-11-01 18:23:51 UTC

Something important that I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she was a famous author/journalist mostly known for a book she wrote on the lynching's and acts like that in which appeared frequently to black back at her home town. This matters because it reveals to what happened and she felt about these horrific things that she and many others had to witness.

River Miles

2024-11-01 18:23:55 UTC

Something i learned about Ida B. Wells was that her anti lynching campaign brought attention to the threat of violence of African Americans. She also became one of the leaders of the NACW and NAACP. With her fathers work she grew up around black people who were trying to better the world and began widespread work on how lynching Black people in the south should be stopped this is important because this stopped many violent acts of murder and many listened to her.

Sebastian Saldin

2024-11-01 18:24:23 UTC

The video link does not work. But here's some things on him. Jack Johnson is important because he was the first African American to win the heavyweight title in 1908, breaking racial barriers in sports. He faced a lot of racism and discrimination. His achievements helped pave the way for future athletes.

Brandon Hu

2024-11-01 18:25:46 UTC

I learned that Ida B. Wells was a Black writer/teacher who advocated and fought for equal rights through writing. This is important because her writing shed light to hate crimes like lynching in the south as those in the south couldn't speak about the subject or else they would get lynched. She also did this in a very covert way by publishing articles under a fake name so she, herself would not get lynched.

Nora Elmi

2024-11-01 18:25:46 UTC

An interesting thing I learning about Ida B. Wells is that she was a female journalist in the 1800s and was famous for writing the famous lynching's about black people. She wrote about how African Americans were executed because of false accusations. This is important because it shows how Africans and black people in general were executed and treated badly for false claims and things they didn't even do.

Torin Stephens

2024-11-01 18:25:48 UTC

something i learned about Booker T. Washington is that he wrote a speech about how black people should just get used to white people

Emma Null

2024-11-01 18:26:07 UTC

A interesting thing I learned about Marcus Garvey was that he founded the UNIA dedicated to uniting Black people throughout the world. He immigrated to the U.S. and talked about how Black people could emigrate back to Africa. He was eventually tried, arrested, and deported and he was never allowed to return to the U.S. This matters because even through he was deported, he left this idea which became this inspiration for others.

Periord 3 - Jason Nguyen

2024-11-01 18:26:37 UTC

An interesting fact I learned about Booker T. Washington is becoming the principal and leader of the Tuskegee Institute of 1881. This is important because this was a school for African Americans which became one of the top leading institutions of the country. The goal of this school was to educate African Americans to more higher education through this school and get them into better educational advancements to advance up in job opportunities for them for long-term economy. It was a great school for Africans to be a part of because they learned industrial education and they were able to have land ownership, business ownership and start their own places.

Miles

2024-11-01 18:27:25 UTC

Something interesting I learned about Marcus Garvey is he established the UNIA to unite Black communities globally and from moving to the United States his message of unity and pride spread quickly. From bringing his message to America he emphasized on improving industrial, educational and social conditions for Black Americans. This matters because from the message he was sending throughout America it would get a little more awareness in time.

One thing thing I found interesting about Booker T. Washington was that he became the most well known alumni at the Hampton Institute for the Training of Freed Men and Women.

2024-11-01 18:28:37 UTC

An interesting thing i learned about Marcus Garvey is that he founded the UNIA because he was dedicated to uniting black people throughout the world. And his message gained traction when he went to the US. Another thing i learned is that many people in the American government hated him and sent him to Jamaica. This matters because it shows how the government wants things their own way and will do anything to have it that way.

Calder Stone

2024-11-01 18:28:42 UTC

Something I learned about Marcus Garvey is that he believed that African Americans should love themselves no matter how much the world looked down on them. This is important, because drove him to speak out and change the hearts of the people. In fact, he gained so much traction that the government arrested and deported him before he could put his grand plans into action

Rex

2024-11-01 18:28:54 UTC

An interesting thing i learned about Marcus Garvey, is that he founded the UNIA. An organization dedicated to uniting all the black people throughout the world. His goal was to create a nation of only black people. A nation in Africa that would serve as a safe haven and to boost the black community's industrial, commercial, educational, social, and political conditions.

Blake Moy

2024-11-01 18:29:01 UTC

An interesting thing that I learned about Booker T. Washington is that even though he was an assimilationist and would publish papers such as "Atlanta Compromise" to appeal to the white audience when not in front of the public image he was more complex, funding anti discrimination law suits and opposing segregation. This is important as it shows one of the themes in the book stamped that someone can be not just assimilationist, antiracist, or segregationist, but have more complex views.

Nolan VanBuskirk

2024-11-01 18:29:16 UTC

Something important that I learned about Jack Johnson is that he was a superior boxer in his time and would dominate everyone, this triggered white people and wanted him to lose. This matters because white people were confused when they saw a black man be able to dominate the boxing community. It shows the power and presence for black people, it can really strengthen and show awareness that black people can do everything white people can.

Donica Marzan

2024-11-01 18:30:13 UTC

Something I learned about Booker T. Washington is when his public figure stands out facing politics that were accommodationist to compromise ideas that should be accepted through their standing of racial ideas and political situations but then at the same time he was funding anti discrimination lawsuits which challenged Jim Crow law but more than ever, it made a better understanding of segregation from his point of view.

Cora Winger

2024-11-01 18:30:45 UTC

One thing I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she started the British Anti-Lynching Society in 1894 to bring focus to the horrors of lynching across the Atlantic. This is important because it shows the international impact and power that African American women activists had on the Transatlantic Anti-Lynching circuit and the ways they internationalized social justice work.

Sasha

2024-11-01 18:31:36 UTC

Something interesting I learned about booker T. Washington was that he was an assimilationist, Booker believed that the well being of African Americans relied on kindness of white people. But the twist was he wanted whites and Africans to be equal, Booker new and understood the problems of segregation but they way to achieve equality was to slowly integrate into white society by getting industrial/cultivational jobs. This matter because he had a big impact on segregation and discrimination he was trying to build the idea of that pleasing white people will end in acceptance and a brighter future for African Americans.

One thing that I took away from Marcus Garvey is that he was the face of the modern back to Africa movement. This is important because it was his solution to better industrial, commercial, education, social, and political condition for the African American community.

one thing I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she spoke out about lynching and the injustice being done, often without provoking anyone. this is important because it brought to light, many of the problems happening mostly in the south and bringing it to throughs who might not have know about it.

The video link did not work but I learned from Wikipedia that Jack Johnson was an African American Boxer who was like an idle to African Americans as he was a-lot better than White Boxers at the time. This is important because he created an anti-racist legacy that people like Muhammad Ali would follow in order to fight racism.

One thing I learned is that instead of just fighting for rights in America like everyone else, Garvey went back to his roots to fight there. It’s a big deal because while others are standing up for their rights here, he’s all about reclaiming what was lost back home.

Nora Elmi

An interesting thing I learned about Jack Johnson was that he was an American boxer who was the first African American to become heavyweight champion. On the 4th of July 1910, Johnson defeated the great white hope. The loss led to racial clashes around the country which in dozens were killed and hundreds were injured. This is important because after Jack Johnson defeated the Great white hope it led to white people getting mad and started a racial clash which led to deaths.

Sorry, I put some wrong dates in there. She did journaling work in the 1880s not the 1820s. I put 1982 was when her friends were lynched, but it was actually 1892. Just for clarification, that means some of her friends were lynched when she was 20 years old.

2024-11-01 18:34:42 UTC

One interesting thing I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she wrote in newspapers to call out lynching in the South. That’s super important because back then, it was really dangerous, and a lot of people were too scared to say anything.

Something that i learned about Booker T. Washington is that he delivered a speech that became known as "The Atlanta Compromise". And in this speech he said stuff geared towards his white conservative audience, he basically said that Africans should stop focusing on advocating for their civil rights, and focus on education and work instead. This is important because it shows that even if you are Black, it is possible to not be an anti-racist. What he said was not trying to help Black people have rights, he was trying to get Black people to fit in with White people, which shows that he was an assimilationist.

An interesting thing i learned about Ida B. Wells, is that she was a founding member of the NACW, the national association of colored women. As well as the NAACP, the national association for the advancement of colored people. She also created a fake alias under the name "Lola." This was so she could write articles against lynching without putting a target on her back.

Emma Null

2024-11-01 18:35:45 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about Ide B. Wells was that she became one of the founding members of the National Association of colored women, but she also spoke out about lynching, but published many articles under a fake name. She wrote about many problems that Black people faced. This is important because she was one of the leading voices that spoke out about the hardships that Black people faced in the south.

I learned that Marcus Garvey immigrated to the U.S. and send a very powerful and important message that spread lots of awareness in America. He wanted to include African Americans into the U.S about building the country and contributing to the country overall from industrial education. This is important because there were movies that racially depicted African Americans as monsters individuals weren't true at all. Making his voice be heard to the country shows that he cares about making sure that people of color are able to have an opinion and freedom of speech to improve racial equity for everyone.

River Miles

2024-11-01 18:36:32 UTC

One thing i learned about Jack Johnson was that he was a great boxer who made a name for himself. Because he was black he wouldn't be able to fight the white heavyweight boxers so he couldn't have a chance at the heavyweight titles and championships. The white boxers not fighting him let to people thinking they were scared so eventually tommy burns gave in and Jack Johnson became the heavy weight champion of the world. This is important because jack kept fighting and becoming more of a champion which made white people mad and he showed that black people could be champions.

An interesting thing I learned about W.E.B. DuBois is he was the first African American to earn a PhD at Harvard. This is significant because Harvard is a very prestigious school. In this generation, it was very difficult for African Americans to enter these colleges, nonetheless earn PhDs. Therefore, it was very influential towards other African Americans at the time.

ThienMy Nguyen

2024-11-01 18:36:46 UTC

I learned that he was the first African American to graduate from the prestigious Havard. It matters because he paved the way and gave hope to many other African Americans to start their education because white people instilled the thought that black people were stupid so they couldn't go to college but he turned around the narrative and proving them wrong. He showed that African Americans are no different from white people.

Miles

2024-11-01 18:36:59 UTC

Something interesting I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she was a journalist in the 1880's and when she had moved to Memphis she co-owned a newspaper and she began writing investigative editorials on lynching. Even though writing these were dangerous she continued her writing and reporting under a fake name "Lola" so she wouldn't get targeted by local white people. This matters because even though she was doing something that could get herself hurt she didn't care and kept going through the tough conditions.

gina u.

2024-11-01 18:37:07 UTC

Something i learned about Ida B. Wells is that she lost both of her parents and a sibling due to yellow fever, and she had so much to do at once; care for 5 siblings while working as a teacher, and school. This matters because it shows how much she had to do at once, and she still accomplished things even with so much on her plate.

Ezra

2024-11-01 18:37:40 UTC

on thing I learned about jack Johnson is that he became the heavy weight boxing champion of the world. this is important because it gave him a lot of publicity and he was very outspoken about the injustice in the U.S. between white and black people.

As an outspoken activist, Du Bois helped to establish the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), edited the Crisis Magazine, and the published seminal studies like “the Philadelphia negro,” the first case study of a Black community, and authored texts like “The Souls of Black Folk.”

2024-11-01 18:39:35 UTC

Something that I thought was interesting about Ida B. Wells is that she spoke out about the Anti- Lynching society in 1894 to bring focus of the horrors of lynching across the Atlantic. This was important to me because it shows the international impact and power that African American Women activists had on the Transatlantic Anti- Lynching circuit and the ways they internationalized social justice work.

Booker T. Washington was a prominent African American educator and leader during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most known for founding the Tuskegee Institute and advocating for African Americans to achieve equality through economic self-improvement rather than direct political action, a philosophy often called the "Atlanta Compromise"; while his focus on education and vocational training helped many African Americans, his approach is now criticized for seemingly accepting segregation and prioritizing economic advancement over immediate civil rights,

Cora Winger

2024-11-01 18:39:57 UTC

Something I learned about Jack Johnson was that he followed Tommy Burns around the world to fight with him, and with media pressure and a monetary prize(win or lose) Tommy agreed to fight him. Jack beat Tommy down over 14 rounds and became the international heavy weight champion. This is important because it shows the impressive feats that African Americans can achieve and it showed people all around the world that White people aren't always best.

Booker T. Washington was a person who made himself look like he advocated and help his people but actually he just wanted them to be white and fit in. Instead o advocating for them and their struggles and differences. He even thought that African Americans relied on the kindness of white people to become successful or even have a life. He was trying to make it seem like he was on both sides but infact he was just trying to have black people please white people.

An interesting thing thing I learned about Marcus Garvey was how he founded the UNIA. This is important because the UNIA was a powerful moved that aimed to achieve Black nationalism. Garvey organized the first significant American Black nationalist movement. By founding this association, Marcus Garvey was able to promote Black leadership, Black women's skills, Black empowerment, and more within the Black communities at the time.

Emma Null

2024-11-01 18:40:31 UTC

An interesting thing I learned about Jack Johnson was that he was the heavyweight champion of the world, but his winning twice caused clashes across the U.S., he also pushed back at racial inequalities. This matters because he changed the way sports would work in the future.

da B. Wells was a prominent African American journalist and activist who spearheaded a powerful anti-lynching campaign in the late 19th century, exposing the brutality of lynching in the South through investigative journalism and public lectures, making her a crucial figure in the fight for racial justice; her work is significant because she bravely challenged societal norms, brought widespread attention to a horrific practice often ignored by mainstream society, and laid groundwork for future civil rights movements by highlighting the intersection of race and gender oppression

Blake Moy

2024-11-01 18:41:14 UTC

An interesting thing that I learned about Marcus Garvey is that he wanted African Americans in the states to go to Africa via his ship the Black Star Line and establish their own country. This is important as during Marcus Garvey's life the country of Liberia had already been established and from what I know was formed by former African American Slaves, the country holding essentially the same views as him. This is important as it brings the question, why did Marcus Garvey not associate himself with Liberia?

Jack Johnson confronted and defeated the reigning champion, Tommy Burns, in Sydney, Australia, becoming the first Black man to hold the Heavyweight Championship of the world.

Period 3 - Jason Nguyen

2024-11-01 18:41:51 UTC

I learned that Ida B. Wells was the anti-lynching campaign that spread throughout the entire world for their attention on the threat of violence that African Americans face in the South and the U.S. She was a part of the Association of Colored Women and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to advocate for the struggles African Americans had for receiving their civil rights and inspired lots of activists and journals who start because of her. This matters a lot because It is also a topic that happens regular to this day about police brutality using excessive amount of force and jailing them. Movements like Black Lives Matter is similar to advocating for prejudice and racial equity which is what she did with her journalism.

Paige Kamin

2024-11-01 18:42:31 UTC

I learned the Booker T. Washington traveled 500 miles across the state of Virginia. He became the leader of the Tuskegee institute in 1881, which was a school for African Americans. Booker T. 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.

Calder Stone

2024-11-01 18:42:41 UTC

Something I learned about Ida B. Wells, is that even though her newspaper was destroyed and she was threatened with Lynching, she kept speaking out against the horrors that were being committed. This is important because it brought the atrocities that had been happening for a long time under the spotlight and especially showed the north what they did not fully understand.

ThienMy Nguyen

2024-11-01 18:44:49 UTC

Marcus Garvey was a man for his people by creating the UNIA. Which was a powerful association that empowered black woman skills, black leadership, and black rights. He was the first ever person to create a significant American nationalist movement. This is important movement because it paved the way for many other opportunities for black kids and black futures.

Takumi Momma

2024-11-01 19:07:16 UTC

An interesting thing that I learned about Jack Johnson was how he was the first Black world heavyweight boxing champion at the peak of the Jim Crow era. This is important because Johnson fought ideas of racial inequality through his tremendous boxing career. Johnson proved to the world that African Americans were not inferior.

Period 3 - Jason Nguyen

2024-11-01 20:19:25 UTC

The video linked was blocked, but I learned that Jack Johnson was an American boxer who was the first African American heavyweight champion boxer of the world. 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. He showed to the world that Africans can be as good at boxing as Whites with hour of training and competition.

Marcus Garvey what the founder of the association called the UNIA there end goal was the unite black people all around the world. Garvey wants every black person to work to one common goal bettering their over all human being condition like educational, commercial, social etc...

He used a ship called the black star to immigrate African Americas to Africa.

This is important because his actions and ideas brought hope to millions of African Americas all around the U.S., he created the largest political movement in black America history that would help inspire more important movements black history.

Blake Moy

2024-11-01 20:51:58 UTC

An interesting thing that I learned about Ida Wells is that she was not afraid to spread her anti lynching campaign, so much so that she founded the British Anti Lynching Society. She posted her writings under the name Lola as she knew to be effective she had to stay alive. This matters because at the time people were scared to speak out and because of her people were able to have their opinion put out there.

Sasha

2024-11-01 20:55:24 UTC

Something I learned about Ida B Wells is that she used her writing to shine light on the horrors black people experiences in the southern states of America, wells pamphlet gain international attention to anti-lynching campaign. Wells was also a part of the NACW (National Association of Colored Women) she was challenged by many people who wanted her to stop advocating for the ending of lynching she never back down and never stopped.

Wells work mattered because her work was a super important part for the fight for civil right, she also laid down the foundation for activist and journalist that would come after her.

ThienMy Nguyen

2024-11-01 20:56:29 UTC

IDA B was an icon being a journalist and activist for the civil rights movement. She impacted people's perspective and views on civil right acts and segregation. She was the very first person to document lynching of African American which sparked many anti-lynching campaigns. Her words and actions progressed the civil rights movements and spread all across the nation giving hope and spreading awareness to the mistreatment of African Americans.

Blake Moy

2024-11-01 21:00:23 UTC

Video Link is blocked, but an interesting thing I learned about Jack Johnson was that he was the first black heavyweight champion, beating James Jefferies, also known as the "Boxer of the Century." This is important as his opponents were mostly white and his win disproves the racist views/narrative that black people were inferior just because of the color of their skin.

ThienMy Nguyen

2024-11-01 21:01:18 UTC

Jack Johnson was he was the first black heavyweight champion. He paved the way for many boxers all alone and fighting the discriminating comments and unfair treatment towards him. The fear that a black man is stronger than a white man and showing that black people are just as good or even better than white people sparked fear in the white people minds. He created a world in the sports community where a black kid would never think they are below a white person and they can't win.

Sasha

2024-11-01 21:14:45 UTC

Jack Johnson was a black boxer, he was super talented beating most everyone he went up agapist that includes white men. Soon he was going for the world title that belong to a famous white boxer, their match was the fight of the century Johnson was not just fighting for himself he was fighting for his race. Johnson won the fight and inspire millions across the country. this is important because Jack Johnson was proving that a black man was just as good as a white man, his talent and fearless attitude change the spots world forever.

Donica Marzan

2024-11-03 02:27:53 UTC

Something I learned about Marcus Garvey is that he was deeply devoted to improve race relations around the world which he started to work in a nationalism movement for black people and started his work ethics in early 1900's to create UNIA (Universal N Improvement Association). This matters because although he got arrested and banned from the U.S government, his efforts will not be forgotten since it was impressive when his mission offered peace and hope for Black Americans to emigrate them back to Africa.

Donica Marzan

2024-11-03 05:25:11 UTC

Something I learned about Ida B. Wells is that she was a writer who researched and committed to advocate a campaign plaguing Black Americans in the south and throughout USA which caused her to be the leading national woman in NACW (National Association of Colored Women) and NAACP. 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.

Donica Marzan

2024-11-03 05:44:11 UTC

Something that was outstanding about Jack Johnson is that regardless of his race as a professional boxer, he viewed the world to fight although he was a slave, he worked many jobs before pursuing his boxing career but little did he know that sooner or later, that sport changes everybody's POV that someone like him ended up being skillful in a sport before. When Jim Crow spreading through America in 1908, Jack Johnson fight off white boxer Tommy Burns during the match and throughout his success, he faced off against Jim Jeffries who was known as the “The Great White Hope” in the match.

Paige Kamin

2024-11-03 22:00:41 UTC

I learned that Marcus Garvey was born in Jamaica where he grew up in poverty. He formulated a plan for a revolutionary social movement. In 1914 he founded the UNIA, which united black people throughout the world. His mission was to unite the Africans, and work together to create better Industrial Commercial Educational Social, and Political conditions. The Black Star Line transported African Americans to Africa to the colony that Garvey was going to establish. J. Edger Hoover's Federal Bureau of Investigation seeked Marcus Garvey's arrest and deportation. J. Edger hired black citizens to tell him that he was using mail fraud and Marcus is put in jail in 1925, and is deported in 1927. He eventually died in 1940 in London, and his three million followers became his legacy. He created the largest popular political movement in the history of black America. Marcus Garvey became an inspiration to the Anti-Colonial movement, and black nationalist leaders. Marcus Garvey's impact in history is important because he inspired many black Americans, and taught the left a motivational mark in U.S. history. He also allowed many opportunities for black people, and gave them hope.

Paige Kamin

2024-11-03 22:43:03 UTC

I learned that Ida B. Wells was born in 1862, she was most known for her anti-lynching campaign for black Americans in the South, and other parts of the United States. She was one of the founding members in the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), and the NAACP. Wells was born enslaved in Holly Springs Mississippi, her father was a part of the Freedmen's Aid Society. She went to school surrounded by other Black individuals. She lost both her parents and one of her siblings to yellow fever, so she had to take care of her five brothers and sisters. Ida b. Wells took care of her siblings, worked as a teacher, and went to university at Rust college. In 1882 her journalist career began, she wrote editorials and investigative reports about lynching. She code named herself "Iola" to keep herself safe. Ida sued the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company for discrimination. She wrote about educational inequality, and criticized public schools for black kids for not having enough resources and was fired in 1891. When three of her friends were lynched for owning The Peoples Store, Ida wrote an investigation about lynching and denounced the practice. In 1892 she published a pamphlet titled "Southern Horrors." 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.

Paige Kamin

2024-11-03 23:01:03 UTC

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.

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.

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).

Caitlyn L.

2024-11-04 19:13:11 UTC

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.

alex

2024-11-04 19:14:20 UTC

Something interesting I learned about Du Bois is that hes the first African American to graduate from Harvard. White people would say that black people were stupid and that they couldnt do anything right, Du Bois proved them wrong by graduating from the "best" school in America.

Bryant Vu

2024-11-04 19:15:02 UTC

I learned that W.E.B. DuBois was the first African American person to receive a PHD from Harvard. This matters, because it set up possibilities for African Americans in the future to also have a change to receive a phd from Harvard University.

2024-11-04 19:16:29 UTC

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.

Sebastian Saldin

2024-11-04 19:16:42 UTC

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.

Miles

2024-11-04 19:16:53 UTC

Something interesting I learned about Jack Johnson is that he became the heavyweight champion of the world in 1908 and in 1910 he defeated the "Great White Hope" and from that lead to great racial discriminatory things towards black people. This matters because Jack Johnson was able to overcome heavy adversity and defeat someone who people said couldn't be defeated.

An interesting thing I learned about Booker T. Washington was how he was the founder and principal of the great Tuskegee Institute. The Tuskegee Institute was the first higher learning institution for African Americans at the time. Therefore, this matters because Booker T. Washington was the driving force behind this institute that raised African Americans to become great individuals.

Jack Johnson was a world class heavy weight boxer and then he became the best when he won and then he won again this matters because he won against all odds and never gave up and he became a figure because of it

Calder Stone

2024-11-04 19:21:50 UTC

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.

Bryant Vu

2024-11-04 19:21:59 UTC

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.

Hanat A.

2024-11-04 19:23:12 UTC

I learned that was that Jack Johnson was born in Texas in 1878, and he was a great boxer what had defeated many black and white fighters. He wanted to claim the heavyweight championship but white people were scared to lose the champions belt to a black guy but they fought anyway and Jack Johnson won and became the first black Heavyweight Champion. This matters because it paved a road for black boxers and fighters telling them that they could be great too.

2024-11-04 19:23:20 UTC

W.E.B Dubois was the first African American to graduate from Harvard. he challenged the image that black people were not intelligent or not as successful as white people.

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.

An interesting thing I learned about Ida B. Wells is how she was a significant journalist who fought for civil rights, anti-lynching, and against women's suffrage. This matters because Ida B. Wells was brave enough to voice her opinion on controversial topics. Wells was willing to risk her life to show what she believed was right.

I learned that Booker T. Washington was somebody who lead the Tuskegee institute to become an institution that was in higher learning. This is important, because it was available to African Americans in the 1900s, which was something very impactful during that time.

In this video, I was able to learn how Marcus Garvey created the UNIA which was something that would improve race relations around the world. This is important, because something in this size changes lives for the better, and is something that is good to know. Something else i learned was how he was arrested, but was still able to provide for others.

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. Wells was literally fighting to end lynching, to protect people of color. She used her profound and eloquent words, to fight back against the racist lynching and mobs.

A couple of interesting things i learned about Marcus Garvey was He was the one who founded the UNIA, when he came to America, black people were seen as inferior human beings and were regularly being treated like dirt. He believed that black people should be treated equally as white people. He had a plan of making his own colony for African Americans back in Africa but the Federal Bureau of Investigation was looking for him so they can arrest and deport him. Marcus was put in jail in 1925 after being accused of mail fraud and was deported He was an important person because he inspired many African American. He gave them hope, Education, and another chance of living in a world where they were seen as equal to white people.

Jack Johnson pushed back on racial inequalities with his status as the heavyweight champion by marrying a 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.
