Question

I graduated from Harvard

top of my class.

I was the first of my type to do so

that anyone knows of.

I share the name of a famous author,

whose last pen name is an ancient creature,

some people mistaking it for a sphinx.

I was in the progressives era,

and my last name is french.

I'm not from France,

but from the continent below it.

My people have been discriminated,

for as long as we can remember,

even in the now.

if no one gets this within a page or two of reply's then i will give some clues as to who this is.

TRICKY TRICKY TRICKY!!!!!! how could you???? i would consider this cheating, if it wasn't a hard question. well can you tell me what W.E.B stands for without wiki'ing it?

it's alright i was just trying to get some new posts, so i did something from my u.s.history class. some people forget what they learned, and i was trying to invoke some people's memory's and see if they could remember. i wasn't counting on wikipedia to give me the answer, but it did. ;):D:blush::thumbsup:
