Famous Americans

How did the contributions of famous and amazing Americans make the United Stets and the world a better place? What did they all have in common that helped them make a contribution? Please think about the presidents such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John F, Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama. Also think about Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Jr. Rosa Parks, Hillary Clinton, Sonia Sotomayor, Helen Keller, Sally Ride, John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Tomas Rivera, Sacajawea, Squanto, Chief Joseph and Ira Hayes.

      I agree with you because Rosa Parks helped our community by refusing to give up her seat to a white person.

      I agree. Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat and her actions that day helped everyone to be treated fairly on the buses.

    Famous Americans like Martin Luther King Jr. made the United States and the world a better place by fighting to get equal rights for all people. What they have in common is they stand up for what is right.

    These people were brave and stood up for what they believed in. Hellen Keller was blind and deaf but she was able to do things that other people that could see and hear could do. MLK stood up for the rights of others. He made an important speech not judging people by their skin color.

    I think Harriet Tubman did a good job with helping her self and the slaves escape through the underground railground. Harriet Tubman helped make the world a better place by showing that you have to fight for what you believe in and you should never be afraid to take action to help many people.

    I choose Harriet Tubman because she created safe houses known as the Underground Railroad to help guide slaves to freedom to Canada.
