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 But i like the list I'd add Huey P. Newton, Fred Hampton, Halle Selassie I ( not American nvm) , J.A. Rogers, Bobby Seale, Kume Ture.. but i'd vote for umm.. Ali even though they got him looking straight sambo in that picture..

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.

he's gotta point... and besides... the Emancipation Proclamation didn't end slavery... the Union winning the Civil War did, followed by the 13th amendment... which Congress passed..
