Movie Synopsis: An African-American’s eyewitness accounts of notable events of the 20th century during his tenure as a White House butler.
The riots in Detroit in the sixties.
I really enjoyed watching Malcom X. I was surprised at how he had changed before his death.
I remember the day Martin Luther King was shot.and it was on the news early in the morning showing photos of people pointing to where the shot came from while the Reverand was laying on the ground outside of the hotel he was staying
Equal education was a defining and memorable event in 1954. In the case of Brown v. Board the “separate but equal education” was overturned and equal education was made available for African Americans. The previous ruling in 1896 in the Plessy V. Ferguson case the Supreme Court had ruled that Blacks and Whites would have “equal but separate education”. However black schools had no electricity, supplies, indoor bathrooms and other essentials needed for a good education. The 1954 ruling for equal and unsegregated education was an empowering and notable event.
I remember voting for Obama!
I rember watching and learning about the Martin Lither King Speech of “I have a Dream” in High school. It really impacted Americans and the world in a positive way.
The most rememoriable time in my life was when I met Rosa Parks for the first time. She lived about 6 blocks from my home. It was such an honor to get the opportunity to speak with her. Also of course witnessing and participating in election of an African American President for the United States.
MLK JR has always been notable to me. I know a lot of people will say the same but he was notable to me because of his ability to engage people into the cause. People give him so much credit but there were so many other of our a sisters that did Great things under his leadership that you will never hear about. That’s powerful!
My best memory is the election of Barack Obama as yhe first black president of the United States.It gave me great pride to be an African American.
President Obama’s winning the election will always be an African-American event I will always remembet. Although I am only in my late 30’s, I never thought I would live to see an African-American president. I felt this was a major step forward for our country. However, the Trayvon Martin incident showed me that we have more “steps” to make as a country to love and accept all men and women.
My most notable person is Oprah Winfey. She had so much to overcome in life, but she have shown all races the anything can be achieved.
Martin Luther King Jr.’s march on Washington D. C. Another important event was Rosa Parks starting the bus boycott.
The first Million Man March event. Men from all over the world gathered in DC to take a stand for man kind and show the world african american men could come together as one.
My must notable person was my father. He believed in love and harmony in life and must of all “GOD”. I hold his teaching to heart today.
I remember the Martin Luther King Jr march. I was little but I remember the neighbors and the people at the grocery store talking about it. I remember thinking “this man must really be important” I remember my father saying “I wish I was there”
My notable person is Dr. King. He change the thought of so many people and the heart of others.
Rosa Parks memorable bus story. She was tired and did not feel like moving to the back of the bus after a long day at work. Because of this event it made history and still today serves as an act during the civil rights movements.
Rosa Park was one of the notable black woman, I had the chance to meet. As a child she lived in the Dexter area and talked to child about pass experience. I would loved that experience.
I remember sitting in the same bus that Rosa Parks sat in…powerful.
I clearly remember the opening of the MLK Jr memorial in Washington DC. A long overdue tribute!!
I remember the moment the Halle Berry’s name was called when she won an her 1st Oscar. She broke the Barriers for African American Women in Hollywood.
election of b obama
MLK’s I have a dream speech! So remarkable and ever so pleasant today. I will one day want my future kids to see and understand where we as people came from and how fought for our rights and freedom to be equal.
Notable experience was when Rosa Parks died and I and thousands more stood in line to see her at the Africa-American Museum. What an experience it was.
When Martin Luther King was shot.
