Although not as well-known as Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King, Jr., Jo Ann Robinson (1912-1992) was perhaps the individual most instrumental in planning and publicizing the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott, proposing the idea more than a year before it was implemented. Robinson was also active in the Montgomery Improvement Association and the Women's Political Council and was an English professor at Alabama State College, which is now known as Alabama State University. #JoAnnRobinson #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackGirlMagic #BlackBoyJoy #Black365 #BlackExcellence #Black #BlackHistory #BlackHistory365 #BlackExcellence365 #Trailblazers #BecauseOfThemWeCan https://www.instagram.com/p/CoV88XVu1Oh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Andrew Foster was the first African American to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Gallaudet University.

He also helped to influence the growth and use of sign language throughout Africa by educating the public and advising government officials, all of which raised opportunities for Deaf Africans. #AndrewFoster #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackGirlMagic #BlackBoyJoy #Black365 #BlackExcellence #Black #BlackHistory #BlackHistory365 #BlackExcellence365 #Trailblazers #BecauseOfThemWeCan https://www.instagram.com/p/CoThz6EOGR6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
