I am so thankful and you have been so kind to show an interest in Notables persons list of African Americans and other Notable Black persons, living and deceased. I have purposely left out no one, and perhaps, have made a few bad decisions of not including some who are truly deserving of being added to the Notable Persons list. I apologize.
Chicago, a huge urban area, has a long list of African Americans who were well known to Chicago and other parts of the country and the world. create your own list of Notable African Americans ( or even Black persons) who have influenced your area. Recognizing the achievements and influence of Black persons can only serve to increase our want to continue to stand worthy of hard work, commitment, and diligence, as we move onward toward comprehensive Unification:
