Some critics may argue that Kim Kardashian is only famous for an accident that happened in 2003 but got leaked 2007. They may also say she is not historically significant except for the family she was born into. However, they are wrong. Kim Kardashian is a historically significant woman because she got Alice Marie Johnson out of jail. Alice was sentenced for life but with Kim's help she got out after 21 long years. Alice was arrested for her involvement in Memphis cocaine trafficking organization. Kim Kardashian argued that her sentence was too aggressive. She fought with the American Civil Liberties Union. Mrs. Johnson was granted a pardon by Donald Trump, the former president. Johnson was 65 years old at the time and became a grandmother and great grandmother while in jail. She was not and is not a threat to society.  Kim earned the Woman Leadership of Law award. She advocated for prison reform when she fought to help pass the First Step Act, which supports women as the renter to society after being incarcerated. She also fought for the 90 Days to Freedom act which helped non-violent drug offenders get out of jail. Kim is also not all looks as she passed the baby bar test, which is not easy. She is inspiring to me because she not just a pretty face she gives back to the world like with getting Alice out of jail and having to deal with her former husband Kanye.

When Harriet was young, she was loaned to a new family. She had to take care of their baby and would be beaten if she ever did anything wrong. On a good day her owners would give her scrapes of food to eat. 

The Fugitive slave act got Harriet motivated to get involved as a underground railroad conductor. While she was conductor, she led 19 different escapes and saved around 300 slaves! 

Harriet was able to help so many slaves escape the South, and because of this slave owners made a reward of 40,000 dollars to whoever would capture and stop her. 

Besides from Harriet being a conductor on the railroad she was also a nurse during the civil war and helped with a campaign to get 750 slaves out of the south. After the war she helped with women’s rights and used her experience during the war to try to bring equal rights to women. 

Harriet Tubman is an extremely important historical figure. She contributed so much during her life. She helped free slaves, was a conductor on the underground railroad, was a nurse to injured soldiers during the civil war, helped with women’s rights, and so much more. She motivates people to never give up even when times are tough. Harriet was born into such a hard life and ended doing so much good in the world. She is such a good role model and person to look up too. She shows women how strong you can truly be. She is such a big hero to this world and should never be forgotten as a historically significant figure.

Rosa Parks helped initiate the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.  She refused to give up her seat on a public bus to a white man.  Rosa was not sitting in an “all-white” section of the bus, she was sitting in a section that colored people could sit in if the seats were available. Rosa believed that she shouldn’t have to give up her seat because of her race.  She knew that she would be arrested but she refused to give in as she had done in earlier years.  Rosa was called “the mother of the Civil Rights Movement”.  Rosa received many awards throughout her lifetime.  When she passed away in 2005, her body was laid in the rotunda at the U.S. Capitol.  This is an honor that is reserved for citizens that have done a great for their country.  Rosa Parks did just that.  

She was the wife of former U.S. President Barack Obama.

When they met in person, Keller was able to identify Twain by his distinctive tobacco-infused scent in which he smoked 10 to 20 cigars a day.

Helen became a major humanitarian, educator, and writer in the 20th Century. She was driven by her compassion for others by devoting her life to helping others overcome obstacles to live healthy and productive lives.

Serena Williams is a significant historical figure in many ways. She has not only influenced many young female tennis players, but she has also influenced many women and mothers. She has talked about her experiences with childbirth and the hardship she had with it. She endured a very dangerous childbirth and after suffered from postpartum depression. She had an emergency cesarean surgery. She had blood clots in her lungs, and it caused her to have 2 more surgeries. She still did not feel right, and she kept asking the doctors to do a CT scan. They found more blood clots and if they did not find them then she would have died from them. She now encourages women to be more cautious after they give birth, so they do not get seriously hurt.
