My black history project is about Marshall Major Taylor. He was born in Indianapolis in 1878. I can't find anything about his childhood. A major incident in his life was becoming the fastest racer in the world in 1898. He faced people who didn't want him in their clubs because he was an African American. Every time he won people didn't accept him.

He was an athlete and he practiced and exercised. He cared a lot about his health. I also exercise and play sports like him. He decided to be a bicycle racer and he looked up to Booker T. Washington.

I don't really know about his support system. I think he just did it by himself. Organizations did not like him because he was an African American. When he was racing, he was bumped and people elbowed him on purpose. His life helped put other African Americans in memberships even if they were African American. I think that health would be most important to him because he exercised and practiced.

Marshall Major Taylor was an African American, fast, a cyclist, a champion, and victories. I liked learning about him because he was the fastest bicycle racer in the world. I learned that people didn't repsect him because he was an African American. He think that his life was hard.
