Every Sunday my mother would force me into my church dress with the itchy lace, and white ankle-socks with the big, puff bow. We would walk into St. John A.M.E. Church and sit in age-old pews, singing Negro Spirituals that I had not yet learned to appreciate. Growing up, church consisted of sermons, praise, and family. For years I would automatically participate in the church activities and youth-group service projects, taking the many lectures about education a grain of salt. However, I never understood the true meaning of service and the importance of education until I learned about the history of Huntsville, Alabama. The founder of St. John African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church, and the founder of Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU), William Hooper Councill, truly exemplified what it meant to serve his community.

Think of the many innovative black people out there.

William Johnson was born a slave in the year 1809 but was freed by his owner, probably his father in 1820. His owner had earlier released William’s sister and mother. William Johnson upon being freed became a barber apprentice in Natchez town. William’s brother-in-law had a barbershop which he took over in 1830 and later on got married to Amy Battles. They had eleven children. Amy was a free person and just like William was black (National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007). William Johnson went on to operate several barbershops, owned land, and rented buildings. He also had a bathhouse and regularly loaned white and black people money which was paid at an interest. Like other free blacks in the South, William Johnson owned slaves and at times sold them too. The diary is a record of his daily personal endeavors, majorly about the payment of his debts, the items he bought and the running of his family. William was murdered by a free black man, Baylor Winn, with whom they had a boundary conflict. Despite his murderer being identified, he escaped prosecution since according to his evidence, he was a white man, and so no black man could testify against him (Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007).

In 1986, while walking down 42nd Street in New York City at midnight, Reverend Wilkerson's heart broke yet again for God to raise up a ministry in Times Square. He cried out to God to do something and at one o'clock that morning he sensed the Lord speaking to his heart, "You do something. You start a church. You know the city and you love

Tennessee Williams was born Thomas Lanier Williams, on the 26th of March, 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi and was the second of three children to Cornelius and Edwina Williams. Tennessee recalls his father as a ‘womanizing alcoholic’ , and his mother to be overbearing, sexually- repressed and mentally disturbed, and believed “there have been too many instances of extreme eccentricity and even lunacy in my family”.

Rose was diagnosed with Schizophrenia, and spent most of her life in mental institutions following a prefrontal lobotomy as authorized by Edwina. Rose was his muse, and the haunting inspiration for many of his female

My most important female role model is Hayley Williams from the rock band, Paramore. I have looked up to Hayley since I was in fifth grade. As a child, I never had a lot of confidence. I was a timid, quiet, and shy girl and felt very self conscious and alone until I discovered Paramore. I always loved rock music, but there was a noticeable lack of female fronted bands. I discovered Paramore in the depths of YouTube and seeing the group's spunky singer confidently dance and sing her heart out on stage made me want to be outgoing. I related to Hayley's lyrics that reflected how she felt and it almost seemed as if she was reading my mind. Her music empowered me and made me realize that who I was is perfectly valid. She was the catalyst who put
