Thurgood Marshall
Thurgood Marshall was the first African-American to serve on the United States Supreme Court. He was the great-grandson of a slave and his original name was Thoroughgood, but he shortened the name to Thurgood because he was never fond of the spelling.
Richard Pryor
Richard Pryor was one of the most influential stand up comedians of our time. His raunchy and sensitive, slightly offensive comedic material paved the way for a more raw approach to comedy. Pryor was claimed by cardiac arrest on December 10th, 2005. A sad day in comedy history.
Michael Jordan
One of my favorite basketall players of all time. i dont think that i really need to elaborate on how important this man was to the progression of basketball. Five MVP awards, ten All-NBA First Team designations, nine All-Defensive First Team honors, fourteen NBA All-Star Game appearances, three All-Star Game MVP awards, ten scoring titles, three steals titles, six NBA Finals MVP awards, 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, three retirements, and a divorce. i love this man.
Ray Barbee
