John Henry is an African American folk hero. He is said to have worked as a "steel-driving man" a man tasked with hammering a steel drill into rock to make holes for explosives to blast the rock in constructing a railroad tunnel.

The story of John Henry is told in a classic folk song, which exists in many versions, and has been the subject of numerous stories, plays, books, and novels

According to legend, John Henry's prowess as a steel-driver was measured in a race against a steam-powered rock drilling machine, a race that he won only to die in victory with hammer in hand as his heart gave out from stress. Various locations, including Big Bend Tunnel in West Virginia, Lewis Tunnel in Virginia, and Coosa Mountain Tunnel in Alabama, have been suggested as the site of the contest.

  • Discrimination does not create success of the country
  • Discrimination is a sin
  • The color of the human does not decide the quality of the human

In General,

The color of the human does not decide whether the person is "good, bad, positive, negative, skilled or unskilled".

If the color of the human is black then it is in the mistake of human but it is with the creator. But the creator does not mind about color or races, he treats everyone equal.
