Real African American Heroes, is a website dedicated to all African Americans who over the years have made a difference. This site will focus on leaders and positive role models who sometimes do not get all of the recognition that they deserve.

We hope to highlight individuals from all walks of life whose work should help others to remember that it is possible to make a difference.

The Absence of General Colin Powell's bio and picture from this page in no way indicates that we do not perceive him as a Real African American Hero. General Powell's career both in the military and the civilian world have both been exemplary and outstanding  by anyone's measure and is thought of very highly by this web site.

However his name is a household word and you will find several articles on him and pointers to other articles about career on our links page.
