Today
we’re shining the spotlight on some outstanding African American
children and youth, and their unbelievable accomplishments.
You have probably heard about Rosa Parks, but have you heard about
Claudette Colvin? Claudette was actually the first black female to
not give up her seat for a white person, doing so a few months prior
to Rosa Parks’ more famous refusal. She was arrested and taken to
jail, even though she was a minor. She was afraid of the backlash of
her actions, but stood by her choice, a true activist at 15 years
old.
You may know Mari Copeny as Little Miss Flint, the little girl who
wrote a letter to President Obama that moved him to visit Flint,
Michigan. She has been a large voice in the efforts to bring
attention to the water crisis in Flint, both with her activism
online, and the fundraisers and drives she has run in-person.
In 2014, Mo’ne Davis let the world know that Little League wasn’t
just for little boys. She was the first African American girl to play
in the Little League World Series, and was the first girl to earn a
win and pitch a shutout in all of Little League World Series history.
Mo’ne was also one of the only two girls to play in the 2014 Little
League World Series, and the first Little League baseball player to
ever appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Marley Dias was tired of reading stories that only ever featured
“little white boys and dogs,” so she decided to do something
about it. She collected over 7000 books in which the main characters
are black girls, like herself. She then created a donation drive,
with the hashtag #1000BlackGirlBooks, to help other little black
girls find representation in the stories they were reading.
Egypt Ufele was bullied for her size. She decided to turn pain into
passion, and began creating her own clothes. She later created a
clothing line for all sizes, called Chubiiline. Her clothing line
debuted at New York’s Fashion Week, when she was only 10 years old.
Nyeeam Hudson, also known as his social media alias, King Nahh, was
another victim of bullying at 10 years old. Instead of allowing the
words of his bully to hurt him, he decided to take this as an
opportunity to educate others on valuing your mind over material
items. Nyeeam is now a motivational speaker, with over 257K followers
on Instagram. He also travels around the world, giving speeches to
other children, sparking kindness and a love for education everywhere
he goes.
God
bless these young people and their selfless, innovative contributions
to society!
