African American Professionals

“Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can.â€- Arthur Ashe (1943-1993).

The above statement made in 1991 by the Grand Slam winner became a source of inspiration for millions of African American Professionals. As a sportsman, Ashe believed in competing with himself and not against others. Countless African American professionals are thus inspired to create a stronger foothold for themselves in the US, especially after the unprecedented access to higher education.

African American Professionals: Names That Created History

America has seen many African American professionals creating history. Here are some of them:-

• Colin Powell is considered one of the most influential African American statesmen in US history. During the Vietnam War, Powell served in the US army. In the Persia Gulf War, Powell acted as a catalyst in liberating Kuwait. In 1989, he became America’s first African American to be named Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was appointed as the US Secretary of State in 2001.

• Carmelo Anthony is an NBA star from Denver Nuggets. He started by playing for his college and making a pathway for New York's Syracuse University into their first NCAA victory in 2003.

• Barbara Harris became the world’s first female bishop in an Anglican church. She worked as a corporate public relations executive before taking the orders for ministry. In 1989, she was granted the post of a Suffragan bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.

• Oprah Winfrey topped the list of the most influential celebrities in the world. Her famous talk show known as the ‘Oprah Winfrey Show’ topped the TRP charts since 1986. She has appeared in films like ‘The Color Purple’ and ‘Beloved,’ which depicted the plight of Afro-American women in a pre-abolitionist society. Her achievement of celebrity status despite an abused childhood is a truly inspirational story.

• Alice Walker is the author of Pulitzer Prize winning book ‘The Color Purple.’ This best-selling book won a lot of critical acclaim and was later made into a movie. In this book, the focus was to describe the experiences of a black woman in her pursuit of self realization.

• Halle Berry became the first African American to win an Oscar for the best actress in a leading role in 2001 for the movie titled, ‘Monster’s Ball.’
