Awesome black people 3

I was watching this TED talk where it was argued that people in part have racial biases against black males because society tends to overemphasize black males who are awful and underemphasize black males who are awesome.
She went on to suggest that to help yourself deprogram your internalized negative bias against black males, you should emphasize black males that you personally consider awesome. Doing so counterbalances the negative bias with positive bias and helps you outgrow some of your implicit negative bias.
So, let's do that here.
Can you name some black males that ou personally consider awesome? Mention why, as we may not know them or why they positively stand out to you.
Let the games begin.

Jesse Owens, defeating the "Master Race" before Hitler's eyes in the 1936 Berlin Olympics

I think few people today are as relevant as someone like Nelson Mandela.

Zzz is black? Well shit. In that case Zzz is currently my favorite/inspirational black person <3
Edit: I hate how our nation is. We should all have been on equal terms way earlier in time

One of my favorite actors of all-time is Denzel Washington
He seems like a class act on and off the film set

Nat Turner

I’ve always considered Nat Turner to be one of the top 5 most influential people for me.
On August 1831 Nat Turner lead a slave revolt in Virginia that lead to the killing of a 55-65 white slave owners and the burning and destruction of countless properties and plantations.
Bless.
