May 6th is Martin Robinson Delany Day!!! 

"Martin Delany was a pre-Civil War abolitionist, black nationalist, explorer of Africa, and veteran of the American Civil War. His father was a slave, and all four of his grandparents had been captured in Africa and brought to America as slaves, but his mother was free, and by law this meant Delany was born free. From earliest childhood, he was told by his parents that his ancestors were African royalty." Thank you Mr. Delany for all of your contributions and inspiration!
