James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Condoleezza Rice, Barack Obama. These are four of my heroes and heroes.
They influenced the world with their work. The first in all categories. The first to win a Pulitzer Prize and be a woman. The first to be secretary of state. The first African American president.
But these are just tidbits of the people who worked, designed, planned, studied, created, and died to make this country great. We built the economy. We made the architecture and developed the science behind open heart procedure. That’s why I am grateful to all who work so hard, people of color or otherwise.
