Hello there !  I am Tyrone and I need your help.  I am trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up.  My dad says that I can be anything that I want to be a scientist, doctor, a lawyer, civil rights leader, or president.  I want to be someone who makes a difference and I think I would like to be either a scientist or civil rights leader.

    Please help me learn of African Americans who helped make a difference to the world.  It will be very important for me to learn about what type of job they had and what they did to make the world better.

    To begin helping Tyrone decide on a job, click on the sites below to find out more information about African American Scientist and civil rights leaders.
