Black people have endured. Point blank...the struggle is real! 

Due to all the amazing efforts towards liberating the race, you could only imagine the difficulty it took us to cut our list of Black leaders down to just ten. There have been so many Black leaders who have all been down for the cause and have risked their lives for the people. How many of y’all would’ve done the same? 

We’ll wait.

So, in creating this list, we thought about just a few of the things that make our top Black leaders so remarkable. Traits such as charisma, martyrdom, the ability to make tough decisions during incredibly difficult times, the gift of gab, and the ability to vibe with the average joe and the president (or become a president) are all qualities that make a leader a leader. So, check out our list of Black leaders who we feel have all of the qualities we listed plus more.
