African American

Many years ago when I was doing black scientists and inventors, I used Ivan van Sertima's works about the structures that were built in Africa such as the Great Zimbabwe, and the extremely accurate astronomy system of the Dogon people. I try to do things that can be stretched over 20 days, so I think I'm going to do blacks in the military this year, with a focus on our presence in the Army and Navy from the Revolutionary War to today, as well as our presence in the Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. I hope to also hope our most stellar Admirals and Generals, with a highlight on Colin Powell's service.

My sister has suggested that I do black scientist and engineers over the last 50 years, and having done the earliest, I think it's time that I do the contemporary.

I'm definitely going to look into Dupruy's book and see if I can stretch it out over 20 days, or combine it with something else, such as mental health issues.

This should line me up for a few years! I am very excited.

Feel free to send the other two ideas, and I will take a look.
