Anybody know some good people to do a black history project on? (maybe someone not a lot of people know about)

Option b. Unlike the Spanish, French settlers in North America in the 1400's and 1500's learned American Indian languages.

Explanation:

France joined Spain and other European nations to explore the New World in order to exploit its resources. Settlers like Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Chaplain were among the first French travelers to set foot in North America, but unlike the Spanish, the French colonists decided it was important to foster good relationships with the native people in order to assure successful trade in the area. To do that, the French settlers learned the American Indian languages that enable them to form alliance with important tribes of the area, like the Hurons and Algonquians.
