overcome racism(sungjoon Hong)

"My blackness has been a source of pride, strength, and acd insporation."-Colin Luther Powell-

Despite the racism, he overcome the difficulty and became the first black U.S. secretary of state.
I think we have to learn the passion he had in his mind no matter how difficult it was.

I really respect this kind of spirit. when I was young, my grandfather always told me: a person who forgets his birth will not be successful in the furture. no matter you are rich or poor, white of black, you are the only one in the world, people don't know who you are , so you tell them by your action and behavior.

I think his positive mind and pride made him strong. Everybody has different views. It depends on their personalities. It is important to think optimistically. Walt Disney said “If you can dream it, you can do it.” (SOO JIN PARK)

A great quote from a great black (Leslie)

You quoted a great black who could be an example of all successful black people. Of course, anyone can give a list of famous black. What we should remember is there passion and pride as a black. I think every one of us, as a specific individual, has our passion and pride. Just as Jing said, we are the only one in the world, which is enough to make us proud of ourselves.

The quote might be even more excellent if the typos are corrected.
