I have to write an essay on a notable African-American who has made a positive difference or significant contribution to today's society. Who do you suggest I write it on?

Do George Washington Carver. He found like, a million different uses for peanuts.

Frederick Douglass. I am actually appalled about he is almost never mentioned during Black History month in todays media (the coke commercial is the first that comes to mind, but of course, coke wasnt around then).

And on a sidenote, I *aquired* Artest's CD where he rapped and let me tell you, he should stick to his day job. He even sucks a producing.
He was in a gang and killed people. Writing children's books doesn't change that.
So what, he still had an impact on society didn't he? not only did he have an impact by actually killing people, he also had an impact by keeping people out of gangs.

He joined the Communist Party. dosent make him a bad person. matin luther king True, but I'd rather have a less controversial person. hmm i just researched him and i dont think he was a communist from wikipedia "In the course of his long, turbulent career, W.E.B. Du Bois attempted virtually every possible solution to the problem of twentieth-century racism—scholarship, propaganda, integration, cultural and economic separatism, politics, international communism, expatriation, third world solidarity." sounds like hes against communism there
If you mean Dave Chappelle's character, you can argue that Chappelle tried to ridicule black stereotypes, but in the end, he just ended up reinforcing them because the majority of his viewers didn't get what he was trying to convey.
