In this story, the words are about many people. These words are to carry a tune to your ears through your eyes of names echoed throughout history. Each name in this article is a name of a great hero. Some of the names may be new, and some may go far back in time. The ringing is the echo of remembering. The shine is the impact they will make on the future. Every name mentioned has had its time to shine.

The first name that I would like to mention is Maya Angelou. This marvelous woman reached out to many women through words of the heart that fluttered about like a butterflies wings. With just a moment to fly around, words crash into the hearts of the reader or listener. It is a soft boom with a wave of different alarms. Each alarm holds an emotion felt through history. The warnings are to wake us up and help us stay strong. My admiration for this woman gives me hope that my words could help others.

This next person is a very famous musician. This man's music has passed through many ears. His music could get many feet moving. Some of the music he played was like living out a part in an old movie. Living a dream come true in a mysterious land full of pure bliss is one description that I would personally describe it as. The music could bring peace and instant relaxation after a very rough day. Duke Ellington is one of the best jazz players in history. Duke Ellington is a man who could soothe the saddest face with the touch of his music. I admire this man for encouraging others with his music.

Kara Walker is an artist that deserves recognition. The way her work has a life of its own is an inspiring thing. She is a great encouragement for others to express themselves through their work. The motivation in her work goes deeper than words can say. It is a way for her to show the world through her eyes.

Another person that I believe deserves more recognition is Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has inspired a great many people through her work. She has acted and written some books. These items are only a few of the things that she has done. Oprah is an example to show others just how much they can do.

Madam C.J. Walker is another name mentioned in this list. She was a woman who helped in different ways. Madam Walker created a formula to help others with their hair. The hair was something that she wanted to do. If you look up her information, the material mentions her created product. The inspiration that she gives to others is to follow their dreams. I admire this woman because she followed her dream to help others in her way.

Maggie Lena Walker is a must mention on the list. Maggie Lena Walker is a woman who also devoted her life to helping others. She fought to overcome discrimination. Maggie Lena Walker is an excellent example for women to show the multi-tasking done for years. She helped women to see just how much they could do. Walker did not just fight one battle. She was a woman who helped create pathways for different things. My admiration for her is that she was a woman who fought for others.

Take a moment to stop and look at the names on this shortlist. Each name mentioned is in a different career. My list of names is much more extensive. I picked one person from a few different categories because I would not be able to fit all the people into this article. If you stop and ask every person which person they admired for black history month, it would be a long list. Each of those names would be on my list. The reason that I say this is because they helped others. It may have been a smile brought to someone's face on their worst day, but the person still helped. I do not just admire each of these people, but I have a great deal of respect.

The respect that I have for each person is for their bravery. I respect that each person encouraged others to fight for what was right and follow their dreams. I appreciate them for being them. I admire them for being themselves to encourage and inspire others to do the same and pass it on.
