This weekend was a sad one for black Americans, with the passing of two great actors. Saturday August the 9th comedian and actor Bernie Mac died. Many people know "the Mac man" as a comedian and actor but he also did public service announcements for the American Library Association's Save America's Libraries campaign. These PSA mostly aired only in on talk radio stations. You can read more about Bernie Mac over at his Wikipedia page here.
Also this weekend Isaac Hayes passed on August 10. Isaac of course is most famous for his role as Chef on the Comedy Central animated show South Park. One thing a lot of people might not know is that he is the first black Academy award winner for a non-acting category. You can find out more about Isaac Hayes by reading his Wikipedia entry here.
