Black History Month

 


There are several of these "I Am Black History" murals scattered around the valley.  I spot them every now and then.  I love finding them because then I learn something about  an accomplished person who didn't receive enough accolades during their lifetime. 

Since this is Black History Month,  this is the perfect time to post the a few of these murals.

Wendell Scott (1921-1990) was the first African American to win a NASCAR race in 1963.  

He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1999 and the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2015.

Taking part in Monday Murals.
