I'm doing a project in my 8th grade Social Studies class centered around a dead person that has somehow influenced history. I am an african american female so I'd like to center my project around someone who is also african-american. The person I do the project on can be male or female, but when I present my project (the people I'm presenting to will be from grades 6-8) I have to dress up as that person. I want my person to be interesting and original and I want it to intrique others who hear what I'm doing. I was considering Jimi Hendrix or Bob Marley, but I know people in other classes also doing those people, so it'd be nice if I came up with my own idea. I'm just looking for any useful ideas that would be very helpful!
They have to be dead. Nelson Mandela is STILL ALIVE.

That's all I can think of right now!
 
search google. you'll find very unique people and learn about many others along the way.
 
Malcolm X for two reasons.

One, he was a very influential african american. And two, a lot of schools didn't teach students about him because they claimed he was violent, but if you look into him you'll see that he wasn't.

As Malcolm said "Defense isn't violence, it's intelligence".
