As a Euro-American, I'd be interested to find from all, regardless of racial background, who is your favorite person with an Afro-American past? Thought this would be a delightful topic for MLK day.

I have a number of them, from Beyonce to Morgan Freeman. But the tip of my hat goes to Neil Degrasse Tyson, of the Hayden Planetarium, not only for his presentations on dozens of shows explaining the universe in layman's terms, but for just being a downright likable person.

Fire away!!!!!
