He was a minuteman for the local militia to help stop the British. He protested against the British. Since he loved to read and write, he wrote poems and stories. Those poems and stories would reach out to people about what the British are doing. Also it would tell what life was life in the war. Since he was telling what the British were doing, the Tories (stayed for the British) might change to patriots and support the Americans.
Personal life:
Lemuel Haynes was born by an African father and a white mother on July 18, 1753 in West Hartford, Connecticut. His father was a enslaved for a plantation ran by John Haynes. Lemuel’s parents abandoned him and nobody wanted him. Haynes had a passion for books especially the bible. Lemuel Haynes turned down the opportunity to study at the University of Dartmouth. Haynes was a minute man for the local militia shop in Connecticut. Lemuel Haynes wrote many poems about the war. Also he wrote about slavery and how slavery was bad.

and Mrs. Rose, his guardians. Haynes composed an essay in 1776 related to liberty and thoughts on the unlawfulness of keeping slaves. After the Revolution, he became known among the whites as an inspiring preacher. He was a New Divinity Theologian who believed that slave keeping and oppression was sinful. His use of republican ideology and New Divinity Theology established Hayes as a founding father of Black Theology, although he has never been acknowledged. Hayes has been invisible partly because he did not minister in independent black churches or denominations but also because his most critical piece on slavery remained unpublished until 1983. He pronounced the fundamentals of Black Theology in 1776 and laid the footing with his first sermon, which discussed conversion. Daniel Farrand, a leader of eighteenth century rivals and minister in Connecticut, tutored Lemuel in Latin as well as theology and certified him as a qualifier for ordination in 1780. Shortly after he preached his first public sermon in Wintonbury, Connecticut. In 1783 he was married to Elizabeth Babbit and they had nine children. Lemuel was ordained a minister on November 9, 1785. Shortly after that, in 1788, he was assigned as minister to a Congregational Church in Rutland, Vermont. In 1804 he earned his honorary master’s degree from Middlebury College. From 1792 to 1820, he published essays, sermons, poems, and hymns from the mid-1770s to 1821. Most of his publications started as sermons and evolved from those (“Haynes,

Haley Esman is a wonderful person, who at 16 has already faced struggles, and created memories that will be remembered for a lifetime. She is different than the regular adolescent. Many people would describe her as queer, meaning not cisgender, heterosexual or heteromantic. She is also quite the athlete. She used to play every sport offered to her in elementary school, as well as competitive basketball. She was also offered the position of co-president of the athletics council for her grade 11 year.
I think Bryan Stevenson has a unique understanding of the CJ system because of his work. Because of the statistics he has researched and his difficult cases, I think Stevenson is very aware of the short comings of the CJ system. He has also seen that the system is capable of righting a wrong. In his book, Just Mercy, he wrote about a case in which a 14 year old kid was unjustly being tried as an adult. He was able to get the case moved back to the juvenile court, and the kid was released before he turned 18 and able to create a new life. Stevenson’s work has enabled him to see what needs to be fixed in the CJ system, and as a result, he has become a champion of his cause.

It's hard to dispute that Scott Weiland was one of the signature voices of the 90s. During his long musical career, Weiland gained prominence not only due to his flamboyant behavior on the stage, but also due to being able to develop his vocal range in order to be able to give his songs that extra modicum of power.
“I am LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from the inner city. I am not even supposed to be here” were the words of a superstar coming to grips with what he just accomplished while winning the NBA championship. Little did he know he would be a great influence on young people worldwide. LeBron James has had a positive impact on young people by establishing a family foundation to help encourage young people to stay fit, help students achieve academically, and helping single-parent homes flourish.
Fee was born in 1816 to farm and slave owners of Bracken County, Kentucky (Fee, John). Fee’s father owned up to 13 slaves at one point in order to keep a steady running farm and argued that no sin had been committed (Fee). Raised in this lifestyle, Fee saw slaves as a normal part of life however gotten into trouble for playing and standing up for his fellow slaves (Fee). Seeing no indifference between colors at a young age, Fee later grew to realize the sins of slavery as he gave himself to god during adolescence. First joining a Presbyterian Church with his father, Fee matured with his faith to study Gospel Ministry (Fee). Through his studies, he met two classmates that challenged his understandings of slavery with the holy text. Coming to an understanding, Fee realized to keep his soul he must become an “abolitionist” and fight for his love of God and mankind (Fee). Fee returned home after his studies to convert mislead followers from his native state, beginning with his father. With this ineffective pursuit he also found a love pursuit and his future wife, Matilda Hamilton, whom supported him through his trials. Fee continued to spread his teachings to neighboring churches, and established a strong community for black families in Camp Nelson (“Walk of Fame Recipient Plaque 5”). In a pursuit to create equality and save man from sin, Fee touched many hearts and ultimately created the first co-racial college in the South (“Walk of Fame Recipient Plaque
She became a professor at that college and remained the head of the department for 30 years. In 1943, she earned her Ph.D. degree which made her the first black African American woman to receive that degree from the Catholic University of America. After receiving her degree, Haynes continued to carry her career on by teaching at several schools. Haynes taught mathematics at Armstrong High School, she was an English teacher at Miner Normal School, taught math and served as the department chair at Dunbar High School. Haynes was a professor of math at the District of Columbia Teachers College, where she served as chair of the Division of Mathematics and Business Education.

There aren’t many people that I've met that have had a significant influence on my life. Many of my friends and family have had some sort of influence on me, both good and bad influences, but none of them have influenced me significantly. In fact, I can only think of three friends that have had a meaningful impact on my life and there is only one person out of those three that I would even think to consider writing about. This person has been there for me for the past two years and he is the only person to change the way I think and act in such a short period of time.
Hi, I am Paige Beck! I am from Toledo, Ohio and attend Sylvania Northview High school. While being raised by my mother and siblings, I've always been known in the family to be the optimistic, energetic, outgoing one. I have been surrounded by volleyball my whole life, from watching my mom play beach with her friends to starting in a little junior league when I was just 6. I was raised in a very busy family that was always on the run, but out of my 5 siblings and I, I was the only one who stuck with athletics. I've always been a very energetic person ever since I was young, which is why my mother believed sports would be perfect for me. Growing up I was very close to my mother and listened to all her advice in life, academics, and athletics.
He was a person who went to great lengths to show his help, however he was not secretive about it. He wrote a newspaper call the Tocsin of Liberty, in which he not only published the first names of the people he helped to freedom, but also the names of their slave masters. Because of this many slave owners had arrest warrants written for his imprisonment (Able Brown).
