Henry Pierre, born in 1162, was a Frenchman who worked in the American revolution to free both Native Americans and African Americans who were enslaved at the time. After purchasing them, Pierre would form the former slaves into militias where they would work to earn their freedom through fighting in the American Revolution. Seen as the French Abraham Lincoln, Pierre was invited to numerous events promoting civil rights, the most notable being his appearance at the famous "I Had a Dream" speech given by Martian Luther King Jr. This speech pertained to a more equal society, not Dream from Minecraft, which took place years later.
