	A historical figure that I think the class should know about is the legendary soccer player Pele. Pele was not only one of the greatest soccer players of all time, but he was a symbol of change in brazillian society. In a very diverse society, a man only second to coca cola in popularity represented social mobility and hope for others of his color. This social influence was not just in brazil as being a black man with his global superstar status helped ease racial tensions in the whole world, even stopping a civil war in Nigeria. Pele is important to me specifically because he was the one who popularized soccer in the US during the 70’s. Without him I may have never played the sport, or got the opportunity to watch it on my couch.

The historical figure that I would like to share with the class is William Bradford. After the Mayflower landed at Cape Cod, winter struck ferociously and ruthlessly. Plymouth needed a leader. They needed one badly. Half the settlers had died of cold, disease, and malnutrition that winter, and William Bradford was elected governor. "Bradford proved to be an exemplary leader" and subsequently was "elected no fewer than thirty times". William Bradford  became the rock on which "such a shaky settlement" could depend. I was named after William Bradford, and I do not regret it, because he was a role model for many. Despite the many hardships he faced, William Bradford nursed Plymouth back to life, and set America on the right path.

Ruth B. Ginsburg was a historical figure, She didn't die too long ago. I believe that she made and impact on the world. She stood up for women's rights and gender discrimination. she was also the co-founder of the American civil liberties union. The ACLU defends human rights which you are born with. She was an important person to me because human rights should be given at birth but some people are treated unequal to others, and the ACLU defends that.

He was an Athenian Historian, philosopher, and soldier. He became the leader of the ten thousand at 30. (Basically just a giant army to take the throne from Artaxerxes II) He was one of the first to use flanking maneuvers, and feints. (Distractions / misleading) Switched sides from Athens to Sparta. His work is in mainly attic greek (Athens main language), and that is why It is used for translation exercises for students of Ancient greek language.

Madam C J Walker was a self made millionaire who started her business making hair growth products for black women's hair. She got the idea from a woman who was doing the same thing named Addy she originally wanted to be a salesperson for her but she didnt want her because of her color. So she started her own company and slowly grew into a massive company giving thousands of african american women good paying jobs. She was one of the first female millionaires and definitely the most well known first. And that is just very inspiring to me.

An Important historical figure that should be shared with the class is Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart is important because she was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She also had many other records, for example she had wrote some best-selling books about her flying. She is important to me because she shows me that women or anyone can do anything they put their mind too.

Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States and he was also the first republican president. Lincoln is important because he freed all of the African-American slaves in confederate states. This is huge because African-Americans were no longer working on plantations or being sold at auctions and they now had more freedom. Abraham Lincoln is important to me because I believe everyone should be treated equally not based on the color of their skin.

Susan Anthony was one of the most well-known women’s rights activists. Susan was born into a family of Quakers, or a Religious Society of Friends. Being a Quaker, Susan believed alcohol was a sin and male drunkenness was hurtful to innocent women and children who suffered from poverty. However, people didn’t take her anti-liquor crusade seriously because she was a woman, and because she was advocation on behalf of “women’s issues.” In 1853, Anthony started to campaign for expansions of married women’s property rights. Anthony also joined the Anti-Slavery Society and delivered her message across the state of New York. This created a huge split between people who believe women should vote but should continue to use slavery and people who believe women should vote and end slavery. Susan was the second president of the NAWSA’s or the National American Woman Sufferage Assosiation. Anthony fought for women’s rights until she died. I believe that Susan is a very important figure in history because she fought for women’s rights and for women to be able to vote. Not only did she fight for that but she fought for slavery and vote for African Ameican men and women were able to vote.

Albert Einstein was a German theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect",a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.

I chose James Madison because he famously was the man to write and put into place the American Bill of Rights. I believe that the Bill of Rights is very important because it contains the 10 amendments that are a privilege for us Americans to have, including the right to freedom of speech and protest and the right to protection under a fair justice system and a jury. I believe that without these 10 powerful amendments being put in place that America would not be in the same state it is in today and I'm grateful to have the right to these amendments.

I believe that with all the news about Ruth Bader Ginsnurg’s death, the strong female who advocated women's rights, another person we should always remember is Malala Yousafzai. Malala was the youngest person to ever receive the Nobel Prize, an extremely strong and determined young woman who inspires me to always fight for what I believe in. Regardless of all the harm and setbacks thrown her way, she still to this day fights for all her fellow women to make sure they receive the opportunity to fulfill the future in which they dream of. The main reason I chose her is to emphisize that all people regardless of your gender, race, and sexuality desereve an equal chance to succeed in life. Who doesn’t want to succeed and achieve their goals? No one! Everyone needs to stop being ignorant, and actually attempt to see eye to eye, and have a realization and remember everyone is so called “equal”.

I chose John Glenn because I went to a camp where each of the sites were named after a historical person, and I was in camp John Glenn. I heard his name a bunch during camp so it kind of stuck with me, and when I went home and reasearched about him. I found out that among many other achievements, he did some remarkable things such as baing a former U.S senate, making Eagle scout, and being an astronaut.

Ada Lovelace (born December 10, 1815- November 27. 1852) was an English mathematician and writer . She is most known for her work alongside Charles Babbage's on the prototype of the Analytical Engine. She is believed to have been the first to recognize the potential of machines and she created the first algorithm. Ada Lovelace was a talented mathematician that led her to work alongside the British mathematician Charles Babbage ( also known as the 'father of computers').  Ada Lovelace also wanted to make a mathematical model of how the nervous system worked, however, she did not complete this but she did learn how to carry out electrical experiments. Charles Babbage believed that machines could only be bound to numbers and mathematical calculations but Ada Lovelace believed that if those number represented symbols then the machine could manipulate them in accordance to fundamental rules and do much more. Despite the amount she had contributed to science, speculation remains on whether the term 'the first programmer' is accurate because her works did not become published, however, she was the first to see the potential and abilities of machines and computers.

This speech became very popular during the Civil War Era, and was widely spoken of at the time. She was very open with her views, as she attended several public protests and fought in all ways she could against racism and sexism. She is important to all of us for her work towards building a world of equality.

George Washington is important because he was one of the key figures during the fight for United States’ Independence. He was known as the father of our country, as he not only led forces into battle and won, but also served as the first United States President. Without his help during arguably one of the most crucial times in American history, the United States may not have won the war, and could be very different than it is today. He is important to me in particular because he was a symbol of patriotism during this time period, and like him, I am also a very patriotic person.

A person from history who is important to me and others is Aretha Franklin. She was incredibly influential in the world of music and to the civil flights movement. Her music inspired so many during this time and still does to this day as she's left her imprint on history. Aretha Franklin earned the title of the Queen of Soul and was known to be a true musician, and one of the best selling music artists of all time. She changed popular music forever by never being constrained to a certain genre, blending gospel with jazz, blues and R&B. Becoming the first woman to be inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and a woman of color, Aretha Franklin was a very important person in history to women, people of color. She is an important person to me because music is very important to me and for a woman like her to leave such a legacy is inspiring.

I admire Harriet Tubman. She is a very important figure in the history of slavery. I began hearing about her accomplishments and hardships at an early age through books and songs in music class. Despite the several times she was sold, sick, injured, or seperated from her family, she stood up not only for herself, but she risked her life to save others. Harriet successfully escapes her world of chains, and soon she greatly influences the underground railroad, and agrees to spark a slavery rebellion.

He also was forced to undergo estrogen hormones by the British government because he had a gay relationship and his options were that or prison.

She served from August 10th, 1993, until her death September 18th, 2020. She has since then has become a legal, cultural, and feminist icon to many. She championed gender equality and this is important to me because I firmly believe that all genders should be given the same opportunities and should be seen as equal.-greta oberacker

Ruth Bader Ginsberg fought hard to end gender-based stereotyping in legislation and regulations. Ruth co-founded the Women's Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union.

I chose Aristotle as an influential historical figure because a lot of his philosophies can apply to every day life now and influence the way you live you life.  “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet” these life lessons can always remind you that patience is important because it will result in better outcomes. “One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.” Remembering quotes like this can make you understand that appreciating the smaller parts of life can make your life more fulfilling.

We wouldn't have lights, technology, electronics, and almost anything that requires power. Throughout our entire lives we've used electricity. Without out this discovery we would most likely never had made advances in health care and with lighting. The reason why because there would be no use for one, for two we never found power to use and we would let our mind wonder to bigger things.

I chose Jackie Robinson as my historical figure because he was one of the first african american baseball players to play in the major leagues. Jackie Robinson was a huge part in history in sports because he changed how the game was played and made a huge impact and statement on the african american community. This made it possible for many more african americans to be able to play sports along with whites and also helped racial injustice. This was a key part in helping fight racism and it brought together both whites and blacks. Without Jackie Robinson who knows if African americans would be able to play the game of baseball and racism would be getting even worse.

I believe Susan B Anthony is an important historical figure that more people should learn more about because she helped pave the way for women's right to vote. Susan Anthony was a National Woman Suffrage Association. At a time when women weren't treated as equals she stood up to men, she was a role model for young women of her time and ours. It took courage and determination to protest, public speak, and organize events  in a time when women didn't do such things. I believe she is an important historical figure because she was the start of why the woman of today have the rights and respect they deserve.

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman is important to american history because she was an escaped enslaved who became a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Leading enslaved people to freedom before the Civil War. But she was also a nurse, a Union spy and a women’s suffrage supporter. Tubman is one of the most recognized icons in American history and her legacy has inspired countless people from every race and background.  She had eight brothers and sisters, but the realities of slavery eventually forced many of them apart. When Harriet was five years old, she was rented out as a nursemaid   where she was whipped when the baby cried, leaving her with permanent emotional and physical scars. During a ten-year span she made 19 trips into the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom.she is an inspirational person to me because she did what is right to free slaves.

Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi soldiers in World War II. He was important to history because he killed so many different races, mainly Jews, and after the genocide and the allies won the war, it taught the world a lesson on how terrible discrimination can be. Because of one man being discriminatory, he brainwashed and led a whole country to war against other's ethnicity that wasn't his own. While he did cause a terrible tragedy, he taught the world the opposite of what he said, and that all people are equal.

Nelson Mandela was a South African American. He was the president of South Africa, and was also the first black head of a state. He was basically the leader of black people, because his government really focused on tackling institutionalized racism and fostering racial reconciliation. He even went to jail at one point for 27 years because, he stood up against a government that was committing human rights abuse to the black South Africans, he was also put in jail for trying to make racial equality. He at one point even won the Nobel Peace price. I chose this person because I have a lot of respect for what he did, and put his life to just to stop racism, and bring racial harmony to life. Not just me but everyone respects Nelson a lot. He is very important to me because racism is one of the biggest issues in the world, and he fought against it.

One of my favorite characters of American History is not an American at all. A lover of liberty and a friend to the enslaved this Frenchman not only fought alongside and led patriots against the British to liberate the American Colonies during the American Revolution, but afterwards attempted to dismantle slavery by trying to convince the early leaders of the our nation (e.g. Washington, Jefferson, Madison) to abolish the institution not only from American society, but from their own personal plantations.  He later brought these ideals to France and drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man which aided the French in a revolution of their own. Much of his life was spent in prison during the French Revolution.  This person is important to me because he was a fighter for justice and the liberty of humanity from tyranny.
