Each day features a different influential figure in African-American history, from Crispus Attucks, the first man shot in the Boston Massacre, sparking the Revolutionary War, to Madame C. J. Walker - who after years of adversity became the wealthiest black woman in the country, as well as one of the wealthiest black Americans, to Barack Obama - the country's first African-American president.
This is a completely unique look at the importance and influence of African Americans on the history of this country.
