You may not know their names. But these courageous entertainers transformed the United States in profound ways, using their artistic contributions to shine a light that inspired change. While many don't fit the conventional definition of a hero, some were foul-tempered, weighed down by personal demons, and misunderstood by their contemporaries, but each one made profound contributions to our culture. This short course provides a long-overdue spotlight on some of the hidden figures of US history who deserve to be celebrated for their unflinching commitment to making America a better place.
