Night of the Notables/Nobles
At my school, we have a night event called 'Night of the Notables/Nobles', and we have to pick a 'notable achiever/person who made a positive influence in the world' to be for that day. We have to make a presentation in class as that person as well. Well, I'm a sophomore female, and I really don't know who to be! It can be a literary, scientific, historical, or musical, i.e, figure. But people such as Britney Spears and Hitler are out of the question, you know what I mean?
Do you guys have any suggestions as to who I should be? I don't want it to be a boring person either, because the most standoutish people make it to the actual night and get to present and stuff, so, yeah. And everybody's doing Oprah, so yeah, just no.

What about Jackie Kennedy? She had an amazing influence on America, in particular during the time when she was the First Lady.
I have had a read through this website, which is a basic biography of her life.

First off, thanks for putting Britney Spears and Hitler in the same sentence - that's a combination I haven't seen before, and it really made me laugh.
Second, you didn't mention if there were any restrictions? Does the person have to be an American, for example? Or alive? Do you want to stick to playing the part of a woman, or would you consider crossing the gender line?
In any case, Google is your friend.
If you want to have fun, though, go as Carrie Nation. She was the single major figure of the temperance movement, which banned alcohol across the entire United States for years. And she used to go into saloons with an axe, and smash them up - particularly the beer barrels.
All you'd need would be an old-fashioned dress (look at the picture in the link below), perhaps a gray wig, and an axe. It should probably be a rubber axe, just so you don't freak anybody out. But those are cheap at toy stores.

You could also rant about the Demon Rum, and try to get people to sign temperance pledge cards - look those up, they'll probably surprise you. Actually, it's a role that you could have a LOT of fun with.
Have fun!
