Bill Cosby was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 12, 1937. He was the oldest of four boys. He had three brothers, and their names were: James, Russell, and Robert. His father ran away near Christmas time when he was very young and he had to get a job to help support the family. In school he was the class clown and was sent to a special school for rowdy boys. In his new school his teacher was Mary Forchic. She saw that he was a great comedian and she put that into her lessons to make them more understandable...
I admire the fact that Bill Cosby and his wife donate money to charities and give money to schools and other organizations.

Bill Cosby has paved the way for all black American performers to do their best without racism and hatred by any other racial group. This was an important thing to do because without him there might still be prejudice of Blacks in America. He was a leader, an athlete, and a scholar. His comedy has made us laugh his tragedies have taught us a lesson. He is definitely a good role model for all people to follow.
