Turner contributed a lot for black community

1. HENRY MCNEAL TURNER

Turner was born free in South Carolina. He was the first Southern bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

He started working a lot in Georgia organizing congregations for the black community and when Jim Crow laws were reinstated in the South in the 19th century, he became a leader in Black nationalism and in encouraging blacks in America to emigrate to Africa.











2. JOHN HUGGINS & BUNCHY CARTER

The Black Panthers fight for the unfair racism towards black people

They are known as the Black Panthers, Huggins and Carter worked to fight the white supremacist acts of the Los Angeles Police Department in the black neighborhoods of L.A.

The two worked with Elaine Brown, Ericka Huggins and other more-known figures to fight injustices against black communities. The two men were assassinated by FBI operatives in 1969 while they were students in University of California, Los Angeles’ High Potential Program.

As an appreciation, a memorial is held for them each year on the UCLA campus.
