My Favorite History Making African American

William Henry Cosby Jr.

(1931- )

 

    Everybody loves television, and that’s why William Henry Cosby Jr. is one of my favorite television stars. You might know him as numerous people, such as Bill Cosby, Little Bill, and much more. He is much more than an actor he is an inspiration, a father, and a grandfather. He has many purposes on this earth because he changes lives. Cosby made 1 foundation to help children in the hospital. Plus he was the first African American to star in a drama show. Now he is 77 and probably can’t do what he could back in his day, but he is still inspirational to me.

     As a child he faced hardships like everybody else, but that didn’t bring him down. He still tried to fulfill his dream of being on TV.  He didn’t know that years later his dream would come true. They actually made a TV show about his childhood. That’s where Little Bill comes in.  Little Bill is just about Bill Cosby learning all his lessons. It caught a lot of kid’s eyes.

     Now Cosby is 77 and too old to be making dramas and comedies, but that doesn’t bring him down.
