Ashby: All who met prejudice should be considered ‘heroes’

I would consider each and every African American who has encountered prejudicial treatment in their lifetime — and still carried on — a hero (“Question of the Week: Who would you consider a Black history hero?").

I would consider each and every African American who stood up for themselves and others — to assure fair and equal treatment for everyone — a hero.

Living with and overcoming the fear that racial bigots and bullies instill in others is heroic.
