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.

He was a very nice and caring person and did anything for his family. He died in 2014 at 99 years old. He was always helping out others and as far as i could remember talked very little about his time in World War II and i think it was because one of the few things i heard him talk about was seeing children being involved with the casualties. He was very selfless and put others first.]]> 2020-09-23 14:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772159241 Benjamin Franklin https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772160763 The historical figure I chose is Ben Franklin. I chose him cause he like discovered electricity with his kite which had a key attached to it. I think this is important because it’s something we use everyday. I think he’s important to me specifically because I use electricity like all the time.

One, he's the only president I know who can defend himself because he would hunt. Second, he got shot during one of his speeches and he finished his speech before being hospitalized, and that's pretty cool. That's all I know about him.]]> 2020-09-23 14:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772162806 Martin Luther King Jr brendanmahoney23_876 https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772162945 Martin Luther king jr peacefully fought for equal rights for all people, his speeches encouraged others to stand up for what they believe in. I believe that history repeats itself and the BLM movement is currently the same as the movement that MLK started. MLK led a movement followed by millions and this movement was probably the biggest movement in the ´40s ´50s ´60s and MLK did it all peacefully. The peaceful movement proved to the world the daily struggles African american have to face just because of the color of their skin.

Also hes a straght bad 🤬 with the nickname scarface killing homies left and right. He also showed that one man can mess up a lot or the butterfly effect. When Al Capone was a gangster he never kept things on the low always making everyone know and never being scared.  also showed me that your actions have consequences to everything you do. ]]> 2020-09-23 14:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772163613 ruth Bator ginsburg daelyn_peters_23_727 https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772166473 we should learn about her because she was an advocate for women's rights, gender equality, and civil rights. she became the 2nd female justice of the us Supreme Court. she's important to me because I am a female and she was an advocate for female rights.. ]]> 2020-09-23 14:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772166473 Seamus https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772166842 Abraham Lincoln is a very important person in history he was the 16th president of the United states of America. He was also the person who signed the emancipation proclamation which was supposed to end slavery back then but slavery is still going on in some countries. He also played a very important role in passing the 13th amendment. He also led the north in the civil war and won to beat the Confederacy in the south which is where most of the slavery was going on. He was also known to wear a really tall black top hat around. Abraham Lincoln was assainated on April 15th 1865.

Malcolm x never gave up fighting oppression he is best known for his time spent as a vocal spokesman for the Nation of Islam. Malcolm X was born on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska and later was assassinated February 21, 1965, in the Audubon ballroom.

The telephone is a really big part of everyone's lives today including mine. It helps us contact people easily by calling, texting,or emailing. If we did not have phones today it would be much harder to communicate to far distance places. It is important to me because my phone has all of my memories on it and when I want to make plans it's quick and easy.

How hard he worked every day, how he would show up 5 hours early to workouts, and how he was a good father who cared about his daughters very much. And till this day when people shoot something in the trash they will yell “Kobe”. But not everyone even really knows him and if he had that much of an impact that we say his name when we throw trash away then we should know about him. I think it will also be more of a fun and interesting lesson.

Buddy Davis Jr, founder of the Buddy Davis boat company truly changed the way sportfishing hulls are done now. He was well known for his boats to have a “Carolina flair” which makes the boat plow through the waves more and be more stable. Carson R. Buddy Davis Jr, has an impact on me because when i am out fishing on one of the boats with the carolina flair vs. without it it truly makes a big difference. This person may not have a big impact on big name in people's mind if they aren't boaters but as soon as you talk to any boater they will know the name right away and how it changed how we all get to our fishing destinations safer.

George Floyd is Important to me because he is a very important part of black history. 
His death was the breaking point for many people and it started many riots and protests.
We might not need to re-learn what happened because most people know but we should at least talk on it. We should also have a unit on black history and talk about some of the killings of innocent black civilians this year.

Abraham Lincoln is most famous for making slavery illegal. Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky in 1809, but he was raised mostly in Indiana. He was the 16th president of the United States. He was a self taught lawyer and a legislator.

She also served as a scout, soilder and nurse for the union army during the civil war. She has became the most famous conductor of the underground railroad. kyarralopes23_214 https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772179335 2020-09-23 14:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772179335 Albert Einstein eduardovitor23_154 https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772180090 The Historical figure I chose to write about is Albert Einstein. As many of you may know Albert Einstein was a very intelligent person but besides that, he began his work at a very difficult time period in the world. Einstein was the son of a Jewish man and also lived in Germany. Einstein was targeted for his work. But even after his life being threatened, he proceeded to attempt to prove Theory of everything. Einstein was selfless person and that is why Albert Einstein is an inspiration to me.]]> 2020-09-23 14:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772180090 Jamie Dutra https://padlet.com/eking99_795/dw4gww51j0tkta3l/wish/772193182 The historical figure I chose to write about is Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali is known for being one of the greatest boxers of all time. He died in 2016 which was devastating to many people. He is an important historical figure to me because I’ve wanted to box for a long time and every time I would ask my parents when I was younger they would say no, so I would go on YouTube and enjoy past fights that Muhammad Ali would be in. I think that we should learn about him in this class because we would learn about real dedication.

She could always solve challenging math problems and eventually went on to study advanced mathematics with a University of London professor. Ada was also very interested in Charles Babbage’s engine he had invented for computing calculations. I think people should know about her because Babbage is known as the father of the computer, but Ada created the codes for the device which influenced how computers and most technology works today She is important to me because math is my favorite subject, so without her ideas our math curriculum would not be what it is today.

The historical figure i chose to write about is known worldwide for his bravery. Martin Luther King Jr. is who I chose to write about because he is a huge inspiration. I aspire to be like him, a role model, a leader, a hero. MLKJ led the the civil rights movement  in the United States, he led this movement from 1955 till 1968 when he was sadly assassinated. He is important to me because right now the BLM movements are violent and dangerous which is a scary to live in. MLKJ led his movement with no violence and civil disobedience. I think this is a good example to show that not everything has to be saved with violence and rebellion.
