What did the "S" stand for in Harry S. Truman, our 33rd president?
Who is the first African American to win an Oscar?
Answers:
1. The "S" in Harry Truman's middle name stood for, "S." It's true. His parents could not decide on whether to name him after his maternal grandfather Solomon Young, or his paternal grandfather, Anderson Shippe, so they compromised.
2. In 1939, Hattie McDaniel became the first African-American to ever win an Oscar, a supporting actress award for her role in the epic film "Gone With the Wind."[[In-content Ad]]
