OK, how about the Congressman William Jefferson, Mayor Marion Barry, and Congressman Charles Rangle?

And former mayor of DEE-troit Kwaume Kilpatrick?

What a shame Clarence Thomas, Ralph Bunche, Condoleeza Rice, Walter Williams etc rarely seem to be included in these lists of notable Americans. Same with the African American astronauts, who are better role models, IMO, than “heroes” like the one in the White House.
