Who are our modern black heroes?

[Neuromancer]

I mean folks making strides in fields that can inspire the youth?

I think Byron Allen can be considered one.

Bryan Stevenson should be an obvious answer and it's a shame that I might be the only person in the thread who will mention his name

Regardless of his politics, he’s literally the most important person in Black history

I have my criticisms of Obama, but I don't hate him by any means or anything like that

But what makes him the most IMPORTANT person in BLACK history? For our people what puts him over Ali, Malcolm, Martin, Mandela, etc.?

He was the president of the United States

He was the president of the United States

And? He's incredibly important, but for BLACK people has he done more than the people I mentioned who fought for and helped us achieve our rights and freedoms? Who taught us that we were a beautiful, intelligent, powerful, strong, great people that should love ourselves? That gave us a lot of the confidence we have today? What has Obama done for black people that makes him more important than the folks I named?
