Ben Franklin made the darkness disappear, Michael made music we all wanted to hear, Lincoln made our freedom true, Da Vinci created art with purple and blue, Elvis was on every music station, Martin got rid of segregation, Shakespeare made plays that were not to be beat, Steve made the Apple, but not to eat, All of these people had something to prove, Making our world brighter with every move, They were anything but ordinary, With a lot of burden to carry, And you. What about you? You can decide what you do, You can make a mark on a child’s day, By asking them if they want to play,

  • Susan B Anthony Persuasive Speech

    1975 Words  | 8 Pages

    Thousands of women have screamed at the top of their lungs, clawed at the patriarchy, and tirelessly fought for their rights as citizens of the United States of America.

Only in 1920 did women gain the right to voice their opinions in government elections while wealthy white men received the expected right since the creation of the United States. A pioneer in women’s suffrage, Susan B. Anthony publicly spoke out against this hypocrisy in a time when women were only seen as child bearers and household keepers. Using the United State’s very own Constitution and Declaration as ammunition, Anthony wrote countless

    Hello, and thank you for allowing me to speak to you today as an anti federalist. I will be speaking about why the constitution, in its current form, should not be ratified. I would like to start today with a quote from one of our papers “When a building is to be erected which is intended to stand for ages, the foundation should be firmly laid.” As anti federalists we believe that the way our constitution, the foundation of our nation, is being constructed is incorrect, and primarily only beneficiary for the aristocrats. Over time we have obtained information and experienced first hand how fragile our foundation really is.
