Who is your favorite historical figure?

Vinay’s opinion

I’m a big fan of Mahatma Gandhi.

He fought for freedom for India from Britain.

But he fought for human rights without using any violence.

And because of his efforts, India became an independent country in 1947.

Of course, I have a personal connection to Gandhi because my famis from India.

But I think his ideas are important to people all over the world.

He inspired many people, including Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

Ananda’s opinion

The Mercury 13 were a group of American women who trained to be astronauts in 1960 when the U.S. was trying to put someone in space.

However, there were rules that excluded women from being astronauts.

Even though the women passed all of the same tests as the men, women were not allowed to be astronauts until 1978.

I admire the Mercury 13 women for completing the training even when faced with unfair challenges.

I hope they still inspire people today.
