Who Is Kelly Wong, First Non-Citizen Elections Commissioner Appointed in San Francisco? https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/who-is-kelly-wong-first-non-citizen-elections-commissioner-appointed-in-san-francisco/ar-BB1ixy9U

Rose Marie McCoy (1922-2015) McCoy’s name may not be instantly recognizable, but she wrote and produced some of the biggest pop songs in the 1950s. In an industry dominated by white males, McCoy was able to make her mark through her pen, even if she couldn’t through her own voice. Her songs “After All” and “Gabbin’ Blues” never quite took off on the charts, but she was courted by music labels to write for other artists, including hit singles for Big Maybelle, Elvis Presley, and Big Joe Turner. So now when you hear Presley’s “Trying to Get You,” you’ll remember the name of the African American woman who wrote it.

Crispus Attucks, a Black man, was the first person killed at the Boston massacre.

2. It’s not widespread.

It is racist depending on the mind of the user.

Thugs, the word chosen by President Obama, Maryland's governor, Baltimore's mayor and others to describe those who looted and burned stores in Baltimore Obama stands by the term 'thugs,' White House says https://www.usatoday.com/story/theoval/2015/04/29/obama-white-house-baltimore-stephanie-rawlings-blake/26585143/

The word hasn’t changed for me or for anyone I know. I don’t know what kind of racial environment you live in but it sounds terrible. To me, you are nothing more than a race baiter. Why is it racist to call a murderer a thug? Please answer this question.

I don’t understand why you are trying to push racism through the use of common language. The term thug is not race dependent. Some famous thugs include12: Al Capone John Gotti Frank Lucas Whitey Bulger Pablo Escobar John Dillinger Bonnie Parker Ellsworth Johnson James Bulger Jesse James Stephanie St. Clair You and the Kansas City mayor are race Baiters, the most evil type of person in the world.

Marian Anderson (1897-1993) Though she’s considered one of the greatest contralto singers in the world, Anderson was often denied the opportunity to show off her unique vocal range because of her race. However, in 1955, she became the first African American to perform at the Metropolitan Opera, and in 1957, she went on a 12-nation tour sponsored by the Department of State and the American National Theatre and Academy. She documented the experience in her autobiography, My Lord What a Morning. In 1963, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her last major accomplishment before her death was receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys in 1991.

But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. – Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

Mae Jemison (1956- ) Mae Jemison isn’t just the first African American woman who orbited into space aboard the shuttle Endeavour. She's also a physician, teacher, and Peace Corps volunteer; after her work with NASA, she founded the Jemison Group, which develops scientific and technological advancements. Jemison continues to work toward helping young women of color get more involved in technology, engineering, and math careers.

The border states have been dealing with this for decades. The city of New York has 2 million more people than the state of Arizona, and New York City is whining because they can’t handle it.

Ruby Bridges (1954- ) Bridges probably had no idea that the bold act she committed in 1960 would set off a chain reaction leading to the integration of schools in the South. She was just 6 years old when she became the first African American student to attend William Frantz Elementary in Louisiana at the height of desegregation. Now the Ruby Bridges Foundation exists to "inspire the next generation of leaders to end racism together one step at a time.

Minnie Riperton (1947-1979) Mariah Carey is heralded for her whistle register, which is the highest the human voice is capable of reaching. But Riperton perfected the singing technique years before and was best known for her five-octave vocal range. The whistling can be heard on her biggest hit to date, “Lovin’ You.” The infectious ballad was originally created as an ode to her daughter, Maya Rudolph (of Bridesmaids and Saturday Night Livefame). However, before she could become a household name, Riperton died from breast cancer at the age of 31.

A bunch of pasty white guys calling each other Racist. Priceless!

1. Not happening

Marsha P. Johnson (1945-1992) Before Netflix brought Johnson's story to life with the documentary The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson, many people were unfamiliar with the influential role she had on drag and queer culture. Johnson, a Black trans woman and activist, was at the forefront of fighting for LGBTQ rights in the 1960s and 70s (including partaking in the resistance at Stonewall). In addition to being the cofounder of STAR, an organization that housed homeless queer youth, Johnson also fought for equality through the Gay Liberation Front.
