Hidden Figures

Ever since I heard Sen. King ask "What have subgroups done for society?", I have been red hot mad anyone would ever ask a condescending, ignorant, and arrogant question like that. Obviously there are many people that feel they are "Superior" still to these "subgroups". I'm tired of people trying to make minorities seem like lazy, good for nothing, useless sycophant pariah's on society. It's so engrained in society, that people of all backgrounds believe it to. It reminded me when I was growing up as the only black child in my grade level most of the time at school. I always felt uncomfortable when it came time for history. I only read about black people being slaves. The book might mention Harriet Tubman and W.E.B. DuBois as an abolitionist. George Washington Carver invented peanut butter. I had to do my own research to find out that black people made a whole lot more contributions to society. It makes me feel proud and encourages me to keep striving to do better and try to come up with ideas to pull people of all backgrounds up too. I'm collecting some of the interesting people I continue to come across that have made huge contributions to society...they just happen to be members of subgroups.
