Andrew - page 3 - During the month of February, E4/5 focused on Black History month by researching Frederick Douglass’ historical signifigance, and his The Wave legacy, and Barack Obama and his presidency. march 2019 • created by E1-E5 Barack Obama Barack Obama, also known as, Barack Hussein Obama II, was born August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. He was famous because he was the first African American president of the United States. Before becoming president, Obama represented Illinois in the U.S. Senate. In 2009 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”On October 3, 1992, Barack Obama married Michelle Robinson. They had two daughters, Malia Ann and Sasha. According to NBCnews.com, “Barack Obama ran for and entered the White House with the promise of becoming a transformational leader — the nation’s first black president and a unifying figure who could in some ways cleanse America of its racial, cultural, ideo- logical and partisan divides.” What NBC news is trying to say is that Barack Obama became president so that he could bring the U.S. together, like the Democrats and the republicans together, and the whites and African Americans. He inspired many other Afri- can Americans to be who they are, no matter what others think. That is the lesson Barack Obama taught us, that a black is just as powerful as a white.Obama was the first African American to be president in the U.S.A. The presidency of Barack Obama began on January 20, 2009, when Barack Obama was voted as the 44th President of the United States, and ended on January 20, 2017. Obama, a Democrat, won more votes than Republican John McCain in the president election. Four years later, in the 2012 election, he defeated Republican Mitt Romney to win re-election.According to Wikipedia, “ He was the first multiracial president, the first non-white president, and the first president to have been born in Hawaii.” President Obama commanded the military to kill Osama bin Laden in 2011. Bin Laden was the leader of the terrorist attack of 9/11. Barack Hussein Obama II was born on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu. His first name means "one who is blessed" in Swahili. He hasn't liked ice cream since his first job: working at Baskin-Robbins as a teenager growing up in Hawaii. - Skylar Engle E4

Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass was born on February 14, 1818. He died February 20, 1895. He was born into slavery in Talbot County, Mary- land. He lived with his grandmother for his first eight years on a plantation, when his owner sent him to Baltimore to be a house servant to the Auld family. Hugh Auld’s wife taught Frederick how to read, until he said that it would make Douglass unfit to be a slave. This didn’t stop Frederick, as he continued his education with white schoolboys in exchange for bread. In 1830, Hugh Auld died, and Frederick was sent to be a ship maker. Later in 1838, Douglass escaped from slavery and fled to City. He later went to New Bedford, Massachusetts. When Frederick Douglass was twenty seven, he went to an anti-slavery convention in Nantucket, Massachusetts to share his feel- ings of slavery. His remarks were so eloquent that he was hired as a speaker for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. From then on, Douglass committed himself to the abolitionist movement. To avoid capture from the information exposed in his book, Douglass went on a two year tour in England and Ireland in 1845. While he was away, he raised enough money to go back to America and pay for his freedom. During the Civil War, Douglass served as an advisor to Abraham Lincoln, convincing him to let former slaves fight for the North. After the war, he fought for women’s rights. Speaking at conventions, Douglass published his autobiography Life and Times of Frederick Douglass in 1882. It was so eloquent that many critics didn’t believe that he, a former slave, actually wrote it. He later died in 1895. - Ryan Beaupain E4

Jackie Robinson Jackie Robinson was born as Jack Roosevelt Robinson on January 31, 1919 in Cairo, Georgia, and died on October 24, 1972 in Stamford, Connecticut. He was the first black player to play in the American Major Leagues during the 20th century. In Pasadena, California, Robinson was an outstanding all around athlete at the University of California Los Angeles, UCLA. He played football, basketball, track and field, and baseball. Robinson dropped out of UCLA in his third year to help his mother take care of the family. In 1942, he entered the army, and he was commissioned as a second lieutenant. He played professional football in Hawaii. He was playing for the of the Negro American League, and he caught the attention from the Brooklyn Dodg- ers . On October 23, 1945, Branch Rickey signed Robinson to play on the Montreal Royals. Then, in 1947, he was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was chosen as the Rookie of the Year. Then in 1949, he won the batting championship with a .342 batting average and was voted as the league’s MVP. Many people hurt him and threw bottles at him, but he kept calm. When the Dodgers took the field against the St. Louis Cardinals, the team threatened to go on strike if Robinson took the field. Then commissioner Ford Frick told the players if they went on strike he would suspend them from baseball. Then left his position on the field and put his arm around Robinson showing respect to Robinson, and the two became lifelong friends. Still Jackie could not eat or stay in the same hotel as his teammates. Rickey was trying to integrate baseball and was looking for someone with skill, integrity, and his family- oriented lifestyle. Rickey feared that it would be hard for Robinson to withstand the racist abuse without responding in a way that would hurt integrations’ chance for success. In 1962 Jackie Robinson became the first black person in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In April 1997, on the 50th anniversary of the braking of the color barrier in baseball, baseball commissioner retired Robinson’s jersey number, 42. It was retired from all baseball. In 2009, decided that all players, coaches, and umpires would wear number 42 in honor of Robinson. on April 15. Now, you know about the man who broke the color barrier in baseball. - Tyler Smildzins E4 - page 2 -
