 {{quotebox-float|I’m glad to stand on this stage with my fellow Democrats who talk about how important the black community is, at least at election time.

 The prosecution was retaliation against Cosby for the [[conservative]] "Pound Cake" speech he gave to the [[NAACP]] in 2004, which [[liberals]] disliked.  In 2015, a judge unsealed confidential records by citing that speech 11 years earlier by Cosby, holding that by volunteering to the public "his views on, among other things, childrearing, family life, education, and crime," Cosby had "narrowed the zone of privacy that he is entitled to claim."<ref>https://www.inquirer.com/philly/blogs/trending/Judge-used-Cosbys-Pound-Cake-Speech-to-justify-unsealing--court-documents.html</ref>  According to [[Wikipedia]],

-[[Booker T. Washington]] (1856-1915) was the dominant political and educational leader of the African-American community 1890–1915.  He is most famous for his inspiring autobiography, ''Up from Slavery,'' his leadership of black conservative business and religious leaders, his founding of Tuskeegee Institute as a college for technical training, and his emphasis on self-help and education as the cure for poverty and the second class status of blacks in America.  In his "Atlanta Compromise" of 1895 Washington reluctantly accepted Jim Crow, segregation and disfranchisement in return for black freedom in economic, religious and cultural affairs. Washington was highly popular among top white leaders and most blacks, but his approach was attacked after 1909 as too conservative by [[W.E.B. DuBois]] and the [[NAACP]].

 The most dramatic demographic change came after 1940, as most backs left the rural South—some for nearby southern cities, and most headed to large cities in the North and West. In the decade of the 1940s 1.6 million left the South; in the 1950s, 1.5 million, and in the 1960s 1.4 million.  By 1970 there were very few back farmers left. Politically it was a movement from a white dominated rural South where few blacks could vote or speak out, to a pluralistic political environment where northern central cities were controlled by liberals and their allies in the labor unions.

 '''Black history''' or '''African-American history''' is the history of the American population of black African descent, from the colonial period to the present. It was a narrow specialty until the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s made it a high priority for historical research and teaching. It is now one of the largest fields of American history.  The history is one of struggle against slavery, segregation, racism and second class citizenship.   Historians debate whether to emphasize radical protest, as typified by [[W.E.B. DuBois]], or upward striving through the system, as preached by [[Booker T. Washington]]. The 2008 election of [[Barack Obama]] as president has been hailed as the culmination of the black struggle for political equality.
