First African-American to make a wireless call.....................in another galaxy.
Who could ever forget the lovely Lt. Uhura from the original "Star Trek" TV series.
The photo is from the first season (1966), but she wasn't sure if she wanted to remain
with the show............until she met Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nichelle Nichols was born in Robbins, Illinois, near Chicago. Her father was both the town mayor of Robbins and its chief magistrate. She has studied in Chicago as well as New York and Los Angeles. During her time in New York, Nichelle appeared at the famous Blue Angel and Playboy Clubs, as a singer. She also appeared in the role of Carmen for a Chicago stock company production of "Carmen Jones."
She has twice been nominated for the Sara Siddon Award as best actress and is an accomplished dancer and singer. Her first Siddon nomination was for her portrayal of Hazel Sharp in "Kicks and Co.," and the second for her performance in "The Blacks."
Nichelle toured the United States, Canada and Europe as a singer with the Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton bands. On the West Coast, she appeared in "Roar of the Grease Paint, Smell of the Crowd," "For My People," and garnered high praise for her performance in the James Baldwin play, "Blues for Mr. Charlie."
Prior to being cast as Lt. Uhura in Star Trek, Nichelle had guested on Gene Roddenberry's first series, The Lieutenant.
At the end of Star Trek's first season, Nichelle was thinking seriously of leaving the show, but a chance and moving meeting with Martin Luther King changed her mind. He told her she couldn't give up...she was a vital role model for young black women in America. Needless to say, Nichelle stayed with the show and has appeared in first six Star Trek movies.

I propose that, for the first time in American history, this country has reached a point where we can stop celebrating separately, stop learning separately, stop being American separately. We have reached a point where most Americans want to gain a larger understanding of the people they have not known, customs they have not known, traditions they have not known.
I propose that this month, 142 years after Congress passed the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 that allowed for the Southern states to be readmitted to the Union, we adopt our own personal reconstruction goals to admit into our lives people who are different, people whose origins differ from ours, people who can teach us so much if we listen.
I propose that this February, we become not an America of black or white or Hispanic or Asian, but an America of black and white and Hispanic and Asian, an America where each of those heritages is a mandatory part of school curriculums.
This Black History Month, we can do more than imagined to honor Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the son of former slaves who is credited with founding Black History Month.
We can do what he wanted and accept American history is the history of all Americans.
Today, in honor of black history, which is American history, I propose that Black History Month be no more.

areal  , "amid all the hate" which many of us have seen voiced by those---at times---who in gangs or individually go on a "wilding" in here (if you know the term)....
just want you to know that one of our top 3 and one of our earliest still-active politics posters (no names, but a big hint there) attempted a thread (last september, maybe) which in its title challenged DH forums posters to say something positive about a minority person or achievement.
it was hijacked, butchered and flagged by many caucasian posters (not me) who were incensed at this young woman's thread idea.
of course, the gang on a "wilding" won, and the thread was deleted.
she attempted a new thread a few days later---same topic---- and did at least receive some number of respectful posts.
my point is: look how far we've come, in DH politics!
just 4-5 months later, we have not one but two threads current of this nature, with much respectful and constructive posting content.
props to you for your skilled and authoratative thread management and to all good people who contributed.

received ann email from Areallady: "We have heard from you more times than reasonably necessary. You are interrupting the Thread. If you have something to say to me or anyone else participating in the thread do so in an email or you will be blocked for anything not relevant to the subject matter."
I will be joined with the list of people who have been blocked by her, although it is VERY relevant to the subject matter. The OP simply does not want to hear from anyone who disagrees with her, evidently.
The main reason that people are so opposed to the idea of a black history month, is that it separates people.
"If we are all Americans, why not just have American History?"
Whites: I've never heard of any movement to give equal time to them.
Japanese: These people were treated very unfairly during World War II. They were essentially placed into "American concentration camps," although these camps were just prisons, and not torture/death camps like their European counterparts. Many of their young men fought for the US in the war to gain their citizenship--and that in spite of the fact the US was fighting against their homeland!
Asians: The entire region of Asia is much-neglected in the history books, and I've never heard of a month or months dedicated to them.
It boils down to one thing--favoring one group of people with a special recognition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings, and even to you OP of this thread.

Bessie Coleman
I think you'll enjoy learning about Ms. Coleman's story on how she became a pilot. One day, she did three "firsts" all in the same moment: First black, first woman, and first person to receive an international pilot's license. She was an inspiration and a role model for many young girls who wanted to learn how to fly.
i wrote a report on bessie coleman when i was in jr. high and i'd like to mention that her dad was a full blood choctaw indian, in fact he ended up going back to his reservation after struggling in the white world. bessie should be honored as a black 'first' but also as a native american 'first'.

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral.
It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seems to annihilate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.”
“Our lives begin to end on the days we become silent about things that matter.”
“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”

You are showing the participants that You are curious and fascinated with the achievements of black people with your frequent returns. I am glad that you are being enlightened and that now you have something that you can share with your children so that there is no chance of them showing petty racism and discrimination by acts of cowardly behavior.

If I may mention that even though some of the posts here have seemed racist or insulting.I think it is important for you to know that some of those same people have emailed me and have not been disrespectful nor has the exchange been heated we have shared honest and valid views and I hope we can incorporate those concerns in a thread some day. One person said to me your heros are not my heros just as I wouldn't expect you to have a picture of Robert E. Lee hanging in your house, why would you expect me to have a picture of King. My response to the email: I have pictures of the things that I am interested in. I don't hang pictures because of that persons' race. I appreciate art and music so what you will find in my house is a lot of African statues, carvings and paintings as well as paintings of Mozart, Beethoven Van Gogh and Monet as well as unknowns If my experiences were only received in the black schools that I grew up in or the black neighborhood that I grew up in then perhaps I woud ony be displaying pictures of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and The Last Supper, which was consistent with what I saw growing up. It is learning. I am learning through this thread and I would appreciate it if everyone would choose to keep your mind and hearts open for learning. Yes, you are proud of your heritage as you should be. I suggest someone starts a thread about Multiculturalism next month. I have enjoyed reading about the other cultures who have started threads. So there is always a reasonable way to get things done and show unity in the process. So I hope that someone reads this post and takes on the thread.
Thank you.

I just watched a movie starring Denzel (Do I need to put a last name?) called "Heart Condition." I can't recall a bad movie by him. When he plays a good guy, "The Preacher's Wife," you want to start going to church again; when he plays a bad guy, "training Days," you want to kill him yourself.
The thing that impressed me about Denzel, he went to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio to visit wounded troops. Many of them are there for extended periods of time for burn treatment. The staff found that patients recover more quickly if family is there for encouragement. One of the doctors told Denzel this, that the family stayed in housing much like the McDonald program for children, and that there was a waiting list for family housing.
Denzel whipped out his checkbook, asked the cost of a housing unit and promptly wrote a check for a family housing unit ($55,000 I think).
A salute to you, Denzel. Talk about supporting the troops!

so whats your point besides haveing a big mouth,judgeing by the stars beside your name
It means you are judgmental, crass, rude, uncouth, unpleasant, and just as evil in thought and intent as your beloved Crazyhorse.

How dare you come i here and throw you self-proclaimed authority around when your sick and twisted future husband had the nerve to post into this thread a comment that said black people should call themselves "shit" because that is what our skin colour looks like. He wasn't man enough to explain why he said such things, but I know for a fact he doesn't have the balls to say that to a black person face-to-face. You both sit behind your keyboards and cast negative perceptions that neither of you have the guts to say in a room full of strangers, so to hell with both of you.

Oh PUHLEEEEEZE!!!!! Like you actually know, but just to satisfy your ignorance, the women I've had the pleasure to be with are far better, not just as women, but as HUMAN BEINGS than you are.

That's Crazyhorse's mule.
I've had it. I don't give a shit anymore. I'm tired of trying to reason with people. I'm tired of being practical and polite. I'm on the defensive, and if Dustin has to put me in jail, then so be it.

Would you refrain from the name calling/insults and we can continue our communication via the mail. I just received your reply and I will respond back to you. I'm really not narrow minded and if you stopped to get to know me you would see that I am a good person. We are the same sign so I know you have good in your heart too.

i've got a hunch that locopony, lol, has been suspended or banned for his racist hate talk, and this is either another ID he has, or she is typing at his instructions as he can't right now.
they are trying for a thread delete or lock here folks....what do you say we all discontinue the dialogue w/her(him?) anymore, to help protect this wonderful thread?

Now thats the best idea ive ever heard from you 
Yeah just ignore it. It will go away. Eight it is so not worth you getting upset nor in trouble. I dont believe a thing it says and it doesnt matter. Hate is grilled into this person and I dont think any amount of effort will change that.
Its o.k. eight

No need to get yourself all jacked up over things in these forums. It's not worth it. Relax, spark one up, have some liquor.

In the devolved mindset of modern American thinking, the world is divided into black and white, but there is room for the hue of gray.
Is it not better for us to allow for—and embrace—diversity and complexity? In fact, is this not one of our highest duties as sentient beings? If so, should we not be willing to admit that when we confront situations that are beyond the scope of our understanding, we may be in need of more discerning minds? Alas, I’m afraid, the human ego knows no bounds!
The most intriguing thing about the speech Mr. Obama gave at he National Constitution Center, near the statues of the founding fathers who signed the document declaring that “all men are created equal,” was not even the part about black and white. It was the new color that Obama unexpectedly wore: gray.
Gray is a welcome relief from black and white. 
The black and white fighting must end.
