It was hard to hear people in the Brown because it was so loud!

ReplyDeleteToday I listened to some very interesting people, like Susan B. Anthony, Jane Goodall, Irving berlin, Juliette Gordon and Rachel Carson. My favorite was Juliette Gordon. She was born on October 31, 1860 in Savannah, Georgia . The Civil War broke out when she was 4.Her hometown [ Savannah ] was captured so she had to move out of the city. Juliette married William Low in 1886. But soon they divorced. When she met Robert Powell in England she thought that girls wanted to be a part of boy scouts too.Although Juliette never had children she wanted girls to something like boy scouts. So in 1911 she created a troop in scotland called Girl Guides. Juliette died of breast Cancer in 1927. But her tradition still lives on.

Roosevelt, Lucretia Mott and Georgia O'keeffe. The one that stood out to me most was Charles Drew. He stood out because he invented a way to save blood so that it would not go bad. I thought that was a very interesting thing to invent. He saved a lot of lives. He died on April 1, 1950, which was April Fools' Day.
ReplyDeleteAt the Living History Museum I saw Marie Curie ,Bessie Coleman, Dr.Seuss, Jane Godall, Susan B Anthony, Rachel Carson, Irving Berlin and Juliette Gordon Low.
