Notable black people

Is there any notable black people in history that you know of Veeky Forums? And if so how do we get black youth into admiring these types of people so the black youth of today can admire people who actually contributed to society or did something of historical significance rather than admiring hoodrats and gangbangers? (Please no WE WUZZERs)

You can't project modern social constructions about race into a past where they didn't exist.

>Yasuke, (variously rendered as 弥助 or 弥介, 彌助 or 彌介 in different sources.[1]) (b. c.1555–1590) was a samurai of black African origin who served under the Japanese hegemon and warlord Oda Nobunaga in 1581 and 1582. The name "Yasuke" was granted to him by Nobunaga, although why and when is unclear. His original name is not recorded in any known source, so it is unclear if Yasuke is a Japanese rendering of his previous name, or a wholly new name granted by his lord. He was one of the first foreign samurai and only African samurai recorded in contemporary accounts
