In March I posted 5 black people through history. Here are 5 other black people you should know about 🤎 6. Esther Lee Jones Known by her stage names "Baby Esther", "Little Esther", was an American singer and child entertainer of the late 1920s and the inspiration for the famous cartoon caricature “Betty Boop”. 7. Herny Johnson Henry johnson was a black soldier serving for the 369th infantry regiment out of New York. He fought in France on the front lines in the WW1. The night of May 4th 1918 Henry and his partner were attacked by german snipers. He had taken out 4 germans and wounded 10 to 20 others by himself with only a knife and saved him and his partner. He only received the medal of Honer in 2015. Henry passed away in 1929 age 36. 8. Josephine Baker Was an American-born French entertainer, French Resistance agent, and civil rights activist. Her career was centered primarily in Europe, mostly in France. She was the first Black woman to star in a major motion picture, the 1927 silent film Siren of the Tropics, directed by Mario Nalpas and Henri Étiévant. She was famous for her well known banana skirt. 9. Mansa Musa Was the ninth Mansa of the Mali Empire, one of the most powerful West African states. He is the wealthiest person in history and worth more then $400bn. 10. Colin Keapernick Is a former American football quarterback and currently a civil rights activist. In 2016, he knelt during the national anthem at the start of NFL games in protest of police brutality and racial inequality in the United States. The actions resulted in a wider protest movement. Kaepernick became a free agent after the season and remained unsigned, which numerous analysts and observers have attributed to political reasons.
