Prominent Blacks missing from this poll: Bill Cosby, George Washington Carver, Frederick Douglass, WEB DuBois
All of these people are on the poll (except for DuBois). You have to go into Nominees A-Z to get a full list. On the front page are just the 25 finalists.

Oh, thanks for the correction.

Douglass slept with a white woman while married to a black woman who helped him reach is freedom.. but besides that.. WEB DuBois didn't like darkskin black people he called Marcus Garvey an ape but when in trouble fled to Africa with the APES

We all have our faults... including Martin Luther King (cheated on Coretta many times), Jesse Jackson (cheated on his wife), Booker T. Washington (called a passive Uncle Tom), so on and so forth.... But our faults shouldn't take away from our achievements. If it wasn't for W.E.B. Dubois, do you think the Black Panther Political Party would have ever come about?
