Bob Marley influenced America by introducing regge music to America.
ReplyDeleteHe introduced me to regge music, a type of music I didn't know until I heard him.
His motivation was his people being hurt by jamaica's corrupted government. So he sang out against them.
He makes realy good music and is an easy subject.
Jackie Robinson
ReplyDeleteJackie Robinson was influenced by the racial segregation, and wanted to break the color barrier that banned black people from the major league, and forced them to play in negro leagues.
Jackie Robinson's impact lets colored people play in not just the major leagues, but in any baseball league.
Jackie Robinson motivation was to break the color barrier, and encourage colored people to not be juded by their color.
Jackie Robinson's factors were that he was a great baseball player, but just one part of his game that was demised is the he was black, and was promoted from the minor leagues, and became the first black major league baseball.

Cesar Chavez was a cilvil rights activist.
ReplyDeleteHis motivation was to help migrant workers who were treated in poorly.He did a series of thing to help out the cause.He never gave up ,despite the put downs from people he continued to fight for what he thought was right.
Abraham Lincoln was influenced by the slavery found often in the south, and the fights erupting between those who approved of slavery and those who disapproved of slavery.
ReplyDeleteHis determination to make everybody equal changed the way people viewed colored people. Lincoln made it so that colored people were equal to everybody else, and he removed slavery.
Lincoln was motivated by the people in the northern states, who wanted slavery to be abolished. He was motivated by the thought of equality.
His success was helped by the fact that he was the president, he was a good public speaker, and that after the book Uncle Toms Cabin was wrote, people began to think of slavery as morally incorrect.
