Summary:  "Achievement engenders pride, and the most significant accomplishments involving people, places, and events in Black history are gathered in Black Firsts: 4,000 Ground-Breaking and Pioneering Events. Barack Obama, Colin Powell, and Pinkney Benton Stewart Pinchback each achieved a political first. Jackie Robinson, Tiger Woods, and Lloyd David Ward each achieved a sports first. Black Firsts is a testimony to the rich but often overlooked history of black life in America -- and throughout the world. This new edition collects and celebrates the thousands of world-moving people and hard-to-find facts and accomplishments that have helped shape society and culture. It recognizes and honors both renowned and lesser-known barrier-breaking trailblazers in all fields -- arts, entertainment, business, civil rights, education, government, invention, journalism, religion, science, sports, music, and more. With more than 350 photos and illustrations, this vital collection includes thousands of personal victories and triumphs. Revel and rejoice in the hard work accomplished by these men and women who overcame adversity and difficulties"--Provided by publisher.
