My person for black history is Frederick McKinley Jones. His life was remarkable because he revolutionized the shipping industry. Frederick McKinley Jones was born in Cincinnati in 1892. Jones taking apart stuff and putting it back together to see how that object works. When he was born, his mom left him and his dad couldn't support him so he gave him to a Catholic school. His priest told him his father had died when he was nine. He had no children of his own and I don't think being abandoned affected his life.

Major incidents that shaped his life were making a refrigerated truck that would not bounce up and down. Being smart helped him face challenges in his life. He made a self-starting gas engine and a movie projection screen. He is also inventive. I am inventive like Frederick.He had to quit school in the sixth grade and he had to find a job to support himself.

Frederick had no parents but he had a few priests, Elder Jones and Father Ryan, that helped support him. He did not have any enemies or people that disagreed with him. He made things so people could eat from far distances. He also made silent movie prejectors to entertain people. I think that he would want happiness because he always helped people and loved and cared for people too.

Frederick was nice, happy, proud-of-himself, smart, and honorable. He is my mentor because I love how he invents stuff and makes the world better. I am glad that I worked on this project because he is a good inventor.
