  2. Sandra Cisneros a fighter, after her mother left she was now the only female in her family , her 6 brothers and her father were all male and didn't understand her like a mother would. Yet , she understood herself and that was enough to make her get back on her feet whenever she fell down and in any struggle. She was like her own inspiration she tucked her self into making an effort in her studies so in her future she could be someone important.When she was younger she did what many children her age would never have had the guts to do , especially in her shoes. When she was in middle school she struggled often in many main topics like math and science, she had Absolutely no interest in any of them whatsoever but when it came to anything English arts based she would pick it up so rapidly it was just incredible any person would have seen how amazing this one girl was at ELA based topics. They would just be stunned on how much she could do.Years later when she was fully an adult she wanted to share her talent with kids similar or kids she can compare in a form to her,so she went on to teaching high school dropouts what makes her a truly inspiring person is that she could have went on to do much more at that age but she wanted to show case her talent with kids who needed it. not many of us here of her today which is a disappointment because she deserves credit for not only thinking of herself.

  3. The Tuskegee Airmen were considered heroes of America and World War 2. After the war, the Army Air Corps were able to train more cadets until 1946. They showed extreme bravery both overseas with Nazis and racism in the air fields at home. They have left a legacy even when most of the squadrons were discontinued by the 1950s. Despite their accomplishments, the group had little recognition from the general public. It wasn't until the 1990s that these group of people were started to be recognized. Finally at May 29, 2007, President George W. Bush presented the Congressional Gold Medal to more than 300 Tuskegee Airmen or their widows. The former 99th fighter squadron of the Tuskegee Airmen which is now the 99th Flying Training Squadron painted their aircraft's tails red in honor of the Black Knights. These men have help change American history. Their contributions led to the integration of the U.S Military in 1948.

  7. Chavez was a very loved and respected person for all that he did. Cesar Chavez inspired many Latino citizens to try to change the world. His life's motto, si se puede( it can be done ) embodies how the common man can make a great change. Chaves was a great enforcer of non-violence, because of him and other civil rights leaders, people are now much more peaceful. The significance of Cesar's life doesn't reflect on any one cause. He was a unique leader, in addition to being a great communicator who influenced millions of Americans to find civil rights for the poor and minorities.

  10. Malcolm X an important role model to changing the American society. For instance, Malcolm X influenced many African Americans to become brave and stand up in what they believe in. Before Malcolm only spoke to African Americans about segregation then after he rejected Nation of Islam he found the Muslim religion. This made him realize that he had to talk to about segregation to all races. Without Malcolm’s rejection, wisdom, and courage we would not be here speaking about him and we would all be separated.

  14. Maya Angelou's true significance comes from the voice gave the African American community during some of the most difficult times in American history. Her experiences during the Great Depression and World War II have given her a unique perspective on life. This outlook has allowed Angelou to vividly describe the hardships she had to endure. While it may seem that her struggles were solely her own, the way she was able to persevere helped inspire many others. Most significantly, she played an important role in advancing the Civil Rights Movement.
