All of these U.S. Black Heritage Project Notables, born in the month of April, need to be connected to the Global Family Tree. Can you help by adding profiles of family members until a connection to the Global Tree is made?
The current tree size as of 24 Mar and CC7* as of 31 Mar is shown for each profile. During the month of Aprch we will update the sizes weekly for those still unconnected so we can all see any progress made. Even if a connection is not made, adding even a single profile to a family is helpful and appreciated! (Sizes in red are CC7 on 9 April and Trees as of 7 April if changed).
The ten notables selected for this month, in order of their birthdays, are:
1 Apr: Jeremiah Haralson, one of first Black Congressmen, CC7: 2, tree:3
4 Apr: “Muddy Waters”, “father of modern Chicago Blues”, CC7: 1, 16 tree:1 16
7 Apr: Billie Holiday, jazz and swing singer, CC7: 37, tree:38
12 Apr: Johnny Dodds, jazz musician, CC7: 13, tree:14
15 Apr: Alice Catlett, artist and sculptor, CC7: 16, tree:17 CONNECTED!!
15 Apr: Asa Phillip Randolph, labor organizer and activist, CC7: 12, tree:13
19 Apr: Homer Hogues, Tuskegee Airman, CC7: 13, 40 tree:14 40
23 Apr: Granville T Woods, inventor and engineer, CC7: 6, tree: 7 CONNECTED!!
25 Apr: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, hip-hop singer and rapper, CC7: 5 7 , tree: 6 8

If you want to add family to a living Notable, please create the family profile first and send me a request to link the two profiles.
As always, please add the {{African-American Sticker}} to any profiles of African-American people, and if you add photographs, make sure they're in the public domain.
For more unconnected USBH Notables profiles, and up-to-date links to this post and the current USBH Connection Challenge, check out the US Black Heritage Connectors Page.
*Tree sizes do not include private profiles or profiles connected thru the private profile. CC7 does include private profiles, but may not include all profiles in large or extended trees.
