He stayed in it for about 50 years. 

His style of music changed and adapted over time. 

He had collected other musicians, and expanded his band. 

As artists dropped and weren't able to perform, he helped them and accepted them into the band. 

But because of the depression, they didn't have money and many artists weren't active. 90% of the artists had were dropped. 

A quote that sums up their life is: A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

All in all Duke Ellington is a hero because he continued to help people become musicians and pursue their love of music, despite the great depression and other issues.




Ellington is pictured below playing piano. ]]> 2018-12-18 15:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/n5i5k8swycnj/wish/315559089 Mary Mcleod Bethune 147053 https://padlet.com/sd54/n5i5k8swycnj/wish/315559186 Mary Mcleod Bethune contributed to the world by believing that education was key to combating racism.

Jim's brother died at the age of nine and he was always told that he would not succeed in sports.

 “Track and field, because it was something I could do by myself, one-on-one, me against everybody else.”

Because he was a football star of Carlisle, the little Indian school took on a huge significance for Native Americans. It was a huge source of pride.

By the middle of the 1930s, Coughlin attracted between 30 and 45 million listeners a week, making him one of America's most influential opinion-makers.

Coughlin started as a zealous supporter of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, going so far as to call the New Deal, "Christ's Deal." Later, however, Coughlin became disenchanted with Roosevelt's leadership and began to espouse extreme right-wing views. By the late 1930s, he'd become an outright fascist sympathizer.
