I am celebrating him on this day because there is no record of his actual birth day. This day in history is the day of the Battle at Bunker Hill and I think it fitting to celebrate him on this day. "Salem Poor was a distinguished military hero who fought valiantly in the American Revolution. This courageous African American made a significant contribution to the struggle to create an independent United States of America. But in a sad commentary on the plight of Blacks of that time, he was unable to enjoy any fitting recognition or reward despite a distinguished record of service." Thank you Mr. Poor for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Salem Poor. :-)http://blackhistorynow.com/salem-poor/
