How many of you would be surprised to know that real black American history includes a black American woman who fought against the constitutionality of slavery in the state of Massachusetts’ Supreme Court … in 1781 … and won?  How many of you would be surprised to learn that Thurgood Marshall was not the first black American nominated Justice to the U.S Supreme Court … the same year the war between the states ended?  Or how many of you would be stunned to know that the first blacks elected to the U.S Congress after the was between the states were 7 Republicans … from the south?
