Everyone should learn about Abraham Lincoln because he was president during the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves. He lead this country through and out of the Civil War which had to be very hard. We need leaders to bring people together, not just drive them apart.

Harriet Tubman is famous for operating the underground railroad, which was a travel route to free slaves. It's crazy how she kept going back and forth and took many risks to her own safety and life to free others. We should respect her for her bravery and learn to stand up for others ourselves.

Jobs was the CEO of Apple when they released the first iPhone. Anyone who uses a modern smartphone has the work of Apple under Steve Jobs' direction to thank. We can all appreciate things like Google and Siri in our pockets and any app we need at the push of a button. There was a time when people didn't have that, and we should remember Steve Jobs for being a big part of making that happen.

If you like cars you need to know about Henry Ford. He's responsible for the first American assembly lines that mass-produced cars. His factories evolved and Ford is still making vehicles today including, the F-150, which is the number one selling vehicle in the country.

People shouldn't just learn about Michael Jordan for his basketball career. He is also responsible for the Jordan brand of sneakers along with endless clothing items. Jordan retired from basketball about 2 decades ago, but people still go crazy for his line of shoes. Most great athletes don't have the business success that Michael Jordan has, so we should learn from him for that.
