Should Bob Marley Have A Statue

I strongly believe that Percy L. Julian deserves a United States postage stamp. He was quite intelligent, educated, and hard-working,and helpful chemist. He was the first black chemist elected to the National Academy of the Sciences. This is one of the reasons I strongly believe he deserves a United States postage stamp.

The first reason that he should be more recognized is that of his accomplishments. The first accomplishment

Marley’s dead and his spirit has come to inform Scrooge there will be three ghosts that will come and visit him in the coming nights. According to the text, the Ghost of Christmas Past will be the first spirit to come talk to Scrooge. After visiting with the Ghost of Christmas Past, Scrooge is durably speechless to see that the spirit was soft and gentle. Meanwhile, they flew together to a place where there was an open country road, fields on both sides, the city vanished, from what Scrooge said, the darkness vanished with the city, it was cold and there was snow on the ground. In addition to the text, wherever the ghost took Scrooge, he said he was a boy there, the ghost said “Your lip is trembling. And what is upon your cheek?” The old sinner

On September 7, 1996, American hip-hop artist, Tupac Shakur was riding with his record producer Suge Knight down East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane intersection. At 11:15 p.m. a white cadillac drove by the black BMW that Tupac was in and shot it up. Shakur was shot Four times once in the arm two in the chest and another in the leg. This is the last story for the great rapper Tupac Shakur. This man influences so many young rappers these days and he was the first rapper inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, clearly demonstrating that he is an outlier. Tupac is a product of the east coast west coast rivalry and his unique style of rap that catapulted him to stardom.

Berry’s performing style and music helped influence many. Most of which it being cover art for his songs. Performed by big names like Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, AC/DC, and The Rolling Stones. This showed people that even in different playing styles, his songs would always be amazing. And the fact that he still produces music today; I give him props.

I think a national holiday should be made in honor of Ida B. Wells because of the contributions she made, today's society would be drastically different. If it wasn't for her aggressive approaches to altering the way African American's were perceived by society, it's quite possible that it would've taken a longer time to rally people against prejudiced crimes such as lynching. Her leadership is also gravely important in history because she acted as a role model to women everywhere. She was not afraid of speaking up against the injustices she witnessed and that was tremendously influential in giving women the strength and confidence to stand up for themselves and their rights as

Growing up in living at home I would always hear Bob Marley music coming out of my brother Xavier’s room and wondering what was so special about him. He would hang posters of him on his walls and have cd’s of his music and I had never understood why my brother idolized him to where he was a “hero” of his. All I typically knew about Bob Marley was that he was a Jamaican and smoked weed, but looking more into his background life and growing up in Jamaica. I never knew how much of an activist and well-spirited person he was. He didn’t care about all about the money and fame he cared about getting his music out there to let the world here and let their worries just wash away with the sound of his voice. He was a voice not only for his people but for the world, and that’s why I think Bob Marley is a hero worth analyzing.

Frederick Douglass is and always will be an African American hero. His actions do and will inspire people to stand up for what they think is right. Frederick Douglass made many achievements, he was an important leader in the abolitionist movement. He made a memoir and a newspaper that both spread awareness about slavery and boosted support for abolitionism. Frederick Douglass will always be remembered for his sacrifices and contributions toward

Nelson was a senator for the United states, but he was also an avid environmentalist. Nelson has made many contributions to the environmental movement; however, Earth Day is the most popular. Nelson was born in Wisconsin and as a boy was fascinated with the beauty of Wisconsin land, and he used his political power to create more eco friendly jobs for people. He most definitely deserves a monument because his creation allowed for many people nationwide to understand the importance of cleaning up. Nelson’s creation also led to many school clean ups, and papers to how to create a better environment all across America. Nelson’s memorial would be a sculpture of Earth. Nelson wanted to make it so that all of

I remember being eight years old and looking out the window; my heart was heavy as I examined the giant crushed piece of metal sitting in my driveway. It looked as if a herd of thousand horses trampled viciously on top of my mom’s maroon colored Jeep Cherokee. It was clear to see my dad was drinking and driving again. All too often drivers decide to put their keys in the ignition, start the car, and head off onto public roads, despite the fact that their motor abilities and mental judgement has been impaired from drinking alcohol. Drinking and driving is a devastating crime that affects the lives of many. When people decide to drink and drive, they are at risk of getting their license suspended, getting

Everyone deserves to be appreciated, encourage, and recognized on the contributions he makes towards his community. The minority Black people have suffered long enough to be deprived of their respect and acknowledgement in society. The ‘All white

In summary, Martin Luther King, Jr., deserves a monument and should be remembered for all of the amazing acts of courage he performed. The biggest belief that King had was for people to believe in hope instead of despair, which is also symbolized by his statue on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The location of the monument is significant because this is where Dr. King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington in 1963. Many people were inspired by Dr. King, one of them being Deryl McKissack, an African American architect, who helped build the statue of King. The monument was opened to the public in August of 2011. Already 14 million people have visited the monument and it is only four and a half years old. That

Maya Angelou is not just an amazing poet, but she is a social activist and has worked to try to create a more equal society. I think that everyone needs to remember all the sacrifices that have occurred and are still occurring for us to be free, and that no matter what it is, it came at a cost. I think that the 20 dollar bill is a good bill for her to be on, because she is so relatable and versatile and she can inspire anyone so, the 20 dollar bill is common, but then also worth a lot to most

The life and work of Nelson Mandela symbolizes the conquest of the human spirit and the dedication of mankind.

Bob Marley is a name most people know but his accomplishments and dedication to music is often overlooked. Bob was more than just a reggae artist, he was an inspiration to the country of Jamaica. He was a role model to the poverty stricken island and gave hope to many people. Bob was born on February 6, 1945 in his grandfather's house. He was the son of a poor farm girl and a British naval Captain. Soon after his birth Bob's father, Norval Marley, left his mother. He remained responsible and provided financial support and occasionally came back to see them. In the 50's a depression hit Jamaica and Bob followed his mother to West Kingston also known as Trenchtown. It was in Trenchtown were Bob's love for music began.
