Changing the World to a Better Place

Some times people make wrong choices and make laws or rules wrong and they treat people badly.

When Elizabeth Blackwell was a girl, people thought that girls could not do as much as boys could. She became a doctor. She pushed the rule and made it change.

Amelia Earhart was a little girl when people thought that girls should only be pretty. Amelia wanted to fly a plane. She flew over the Atlantic Ocean. She made the rule change.

There was a fence in the middle of a town. The black people lived on one side and the white people on the other side. There were two girls and they wanted to be friends. So they sat on the fence and talked. They helped the rule to change.

Harriet Tubman was a slave. She had no freedom. She ran to freedom. Then she came back and got 300 slaves to freedom.

There used to be a restaurant where Black people had to stand up to eat. So the Black people sat at the counter but they didn't eat. They changed the rule.

We can change the rule if it is bad and be brave.
