Boys and girls, meet Abraham Lincoln! He was our 16th president and he was very tall - he wore a tall black hat too! Lincoln was a kind man who believed everyone should be free. He helped end slavery in America. He grew up in a log cabin and loved to read books. Remember, just like Lincoln, you can do great things even if you start with very little!

Friends, let me tell you about Rosa Parks! She was a very brave African American lady who helped change unfair rules. One day, she was told to give up her bus seat because of the color of her skin. She said 'No!' This was very brave because back then, there were unfair rules about where people could sit on buses. Her bravery helped make things better for everyone!

Dr. King was a wonderful person who had a big dream - that all people would be treated fairly and kindly, no matter what they looked like. He gave speeches that helped people understand that everyone should be friends and treat each other nicely. He taught us that using peaceful words is better than being mean or fighting. Remember his important message: judge people by who they are inside, not how they look!

Guess what, boys and girls? Betsy Ross was a very talented person who helped make the first American flag! She was really good at sewing and used red, white, and blue cloth to create our beautiful flag. The flag had 13 stripes for the first 13 states, and stars in a circle. Today, our flag has 50 stars - one for each state! Next time you see the American flag, remember Betsy Ross and her amazing work!
