Warren Moon Research Paper

In the novel Alabama Moon a boy named Moon is the main character. Moon is very independent because throughout the story he does a lot of things on his own including living alone. On page 3 I found out that he was ten years old because it said “I was ten years old and he’d taught me everything I needed to know about living out in the forest.” So this showed me that he knew how to live in his own out in the forest and that he was ten years old which was pretty young to be living on his own out in the forest. At first when Moon was scared and lonely without his dad he was aggressive with the other characters. On page 27 Moon really showed his anger toward Mr.Abroscotto

Arree Walton Sr. was born on April 11, 1924 in Big Sandy, Texas, the firstborn child of the late Willie Sr. and Daisy T. Walton. He grew up on his parents large farm where he learned discipline, hard work and respect at a young age. As the eldest child, responsibility was usually expected of him as he often worked on the farm, babysat his younger siblings and neighbors, and attended to the needs of the four other families that tenanted his father's fields. He excelled in his education and was involved in all his school plays and was always given the roles with the most lines, because his teachers knew he could always remember his lines (his teachers often stated he could memorize a newspaper overnight). Unfortunately at the age of 14 his father tragically died as a result of an injury he sustained while working on the railroads. After his father's untimely death his mother decided to move their family to Los Angeles, California to be with her sister, Arree's Aunt Tessie. Determined on keeping his father's estate in order, he decided to stay on the family farm while the rest of his family moved to Los Angeles. For the next year or two, he had continued his daily school

Why would I want to have a thirty-minute conversation with the now deceased Syracuse Alum and NFL player Jim Brown? Jim Brown is a strong African American male who had lived through different stages of life, someone who acquired great knowledge growing up. Brown was and still is now a hero, someone most athletes look up to, someone who has motivated me after learning about the history of him. He dealt with racism in his lifetime, the transitions from being home with family all his life to the college life. Additionally, Brown was capable of staying on top of his academics, while participating in athletics. Furthermore, I feel as if in a way we are connected, both black males who looked to use football as a way to more opportunities in life,

The game-winning touchdown caught by Donnell Wilson had everyone talking Monday morning at school. The “catch” many not have actually been as amazing as described though. An assistant coach for the University of Nebraska stated about Donnell Wilson, “Has poor hands and only average speed” (Doc. 9)

Walter Payton, running back for the dominant 1985 Chicago Bears team that went 15-1 and won the Superbowl, is one of the best running backs in NFL history. Walter Payton was also known for his philanthropy off the field, earning him the nickname “Sweetness”. There is now an award given out every year called the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which recognizes players for their charitable contributions off the field as well as their excellence on the field. The last recipient of this award was Thomas Davis, a Carolina Panthers linebacker. Walter “Sweetness” Payton died in 1999 of cancer. He was one of the most influential athletes in history, not just due to his ability on the field, but also because of his persona. Stats, influence on the game, and persona off the field are how a player’s influence should be measured. The three most influential quarterbacks of the last twenty five years of the twentieth century are Warren Moon, Joe Montana, and Jim Kelly.

Neil Armstrong 's 1969 lunar landing was one of humanity 's greatest accomplishments. Since then, we have found that an infinite supply of knowledge and resources await us just outside our atmosphere. Today, however, critics are beginning to argue more and more that the cost of space exploration is too high, and therefore new technological developments should be left to the private sector. Whether funded privately or by the government, funding of space exploration is imperative because NASA is essentially the only agency with the technological capabilities to support aircraft manufacturing, air safety and air transportation. Space exploration has also resulted in remarkable innovations that has played a key role in aeronautics research, preventative medicine, and allows scientists to study asteroids, along with other space debris and their impacts on Earth.

William Morris Stewart was born on August 9, 1825 to Miranda Morris and Frederick Augustus Stewart, on a family farm in Lyons, New York. At a young age his family moved from Lyon, New York to Mesopotamia, Ohio. At age 14, he left home to attend West Farmington Academy in Ohio and Lyons Union School in New York which he earned tuition for by working a common laborer and school teacher. With help from a Lyons attorney that provided a loan to attend Yale University, he only attended three terms from 1849 to 1850. When the gold mining became big he left to Nevada City, California on an adventure to find gold. After failing to find gold, he began to study law and by 1852 was admitted to the California bar and establishing a practice. He was known as an expert in

Political advocacy organizations have historically played a big part in securing political rights for minority groups in Western Liberal Democracies. Whether we look to the now infamous Boston Tea Party to the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, we observe the importance of political organizations in their quest to ensure equitable rights for the people whom they represent. In context of the early twentieth century, the most prominent group to represent African-American’s in the United States was that of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP, as it is more commonly called, was founded on February 12, 1909 by a mixed group of individuals including but not limited to Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. DuBois and Archibald Grimké with the goal of creating a civil rights organization that would help assist in organizing for civil rights for blacks. One of its most prominent members, Charles Hamilton Houston, who became a part of the organization around the mid-twentieth century, changed the trajectory of the organization for years to come.

James Brown Miller, also known as “Killin’ Jim”, “Killer Miller” and “Deacon Jim”, was the son of Jack and Cynthia Miller. He was born on October, 25, 1866 in Van Buren, Arkansas, and was married to the cousin of another famous old west outlaw, John Wesley Hardin. And at the age of one, he moved with his parents to Franklin, Texas. However, just a few years after the move, both of Miller’s parents died, and he was sent to Evant to live with his grandparents. At the age of eight, Miller was again orphaned after both of his grandparents were found murdered in their home. Miller was arrested for the crime, even though he was only eight years old; in the end, he wasn’t charged.

Football is one of America’s greatest sports, but on December 1, 2016 Joe McKnight was at an intersection when one man shot him and killed him. Witness say that the shooter said “I told you not to f*** with me.” This was shooting that made people very unhappy. Fans were devastated.

The duo of Fred Blitenikoff and “Bullet” Bob Hayes, were an unknown gift to any gunslinger quarterback. Both these men would eventually see their names in the Hall of Fame but couldn’t be any different. Bob Hayes was a track star from Florida A&M with an exciting summer story to tell his fellow teammates. Before Bullet Bob was winning Super Bowls in Dallas with Staubach, he was in Tokyo winning the 1964 Olympic Gold Medal for the United States in the 100 meter and the 4 x 100 meter. The highly recruited track star had very little football experience but some teams wanted to test his speed as a wideout. On the opposite side, was the son of a hard-working family of Russian immigrants named Fred Biletnikoff. The young Biletnikoff was born poor and watched his family fight to survive the toughness of the world and learned at a very young age to always strive to fight to survive. His high school life exemplified that more than anything as a four sport athlete and the honor as a scholarship to Florida State University. There, he continued to dedicate his life on the gridiron and even in his social life as a member of the Lambdu Alpha Chi Fraternity. Hayes and Biletnikoff would both go on to Hall of Fame careers and the riches of championships but the gold was just get started at this

The city of Houston, TX, began when Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen ran an advertisement in the Texas Register and the Telegraph for the " Town of Houston.", they claimed that the town would be remembered for it's commercial advertising and said that ships could sail up Buffalo Bayou to enter the new town. Accordingly, out of respect for his bravery and command, they decided to name it Houston after General Sam Houston, commander of the army that would gain Mexico it's independence. To their surprise, the brother's suggestion gets accepted to the point of them paying just over $1.40 per acre for 6,642 acres of land next to the Buffalo Bayou. Later, in 1837, General Sam Houston signs an act authorizing Houston as a town; it was named
