BLACK HISTORY SPOTLIGHT #3 Benjamin Oliver Davis Sr. Benjamin Oliver Davis Sr. was born in Chicago in 1877 and he is the first African-American general for the U.S. Army. Mr. Davis fought against segregation by creating plans for the limited desegregation of U.S combat forces of in Europe during World War II. He was three times assigned as a professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce University in Ohio and Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Mr. Davis had many roles and made his way through the ranks, becoming the first black colonel in the army in 1930. During WW2, he headed a special unit charged with safeguarding the status and morale of black soldiers in the army, and he served in the European theater as a special adviser on race relations. Davis Jr. led the Tuskegee Airmen and continued the fight against the establishment and tradition to advance the cause of blacks in the military. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman ordered the end of discriminatory practices in the armed forces, relying on the foundation built by Mr. Davis.

BLACK HISTORY SPOTLIGHT #2 Annie Lee Cooper Annie Lee Cooper was an Civil Rights movement activist from Selma, Alabama. Most people don’t know about Annie Lee, until Oprah played her role one the movie “Selma” but Ms. Cooper played a vital part in the 1965 Selma Voting Rights Movement. She fought flit restore and protect the voting rights of African Americans. As she started participating in the civil rights movement, she was lined up at the Dallas County Courthouse trying to register to vote, when a Sheriff named Jim Clark told her to leave the area. She refused, and was hit on the neck with a metal baton. She was beaten and wrestled by the officer, but she fought back and was arrested. Her fight for voting right were then brought up in Dr. Martin Luther King speech, and shortly after, she was allowed to vote in Alabama, marking the first time votes for blacks and African American women were allowed in the state! ✊🏾🖤 BLACK HISTORY is AMERICAN HISTORY! #43Hoops #MoreThanBasketball #Basketball #Development #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth ✊🏾🖤

BLACK HISTORY SPOTLIGHT: We start Black History Month by putting a spotlight on Shirley Chisholm. ✊🏾 Ms. Chisholm was a pioneer who was relentless in breaking political barriers. In 1968, Chisholm became the FIRST BLACK WOMAN elected to the U.S. Congress, representing New York’s 12th District for seven terms from 1969 to 1983. In 1972, Chisholm became the first black candidate for a major party’s nomination for president of the United States, and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. She served as New York state legislator and a congresswoman, fighting for improved education; health and social services, including unemployment benefits for domestic workers; providing disadvantaged students the chance to attend college while receiving intensive remedial education; the food stamp program; and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program. Chisholm faced more discrimination because of gender than race during her New York legislative career, while acknowledging the additional struggle that black women encounter specifically because of their race. “Tremendous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt.” - Shirley Chisholm BLACK HISTORY is AMERICAN HISTORY! #43Hoops #MoreThanBasketball #Training #Development #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth ✊🏾🖤
