That would be a good choice, but you could always do leaders from other countries, such as Winston Churchill. I think he'd be good =] I did a report on him a couple years ago and he was amazing. He helped out in WWII. So also, people that made a difference in wars are important too.

There's one more person in the world. You could do a lot of people. There are so many, many people who make differences, important and unimportant. You could do Henry Ford, Clara Barton, Amelia Earhart, Louis Pasteur, Orville Wright, and many, many, many, many others.
As the person below me joked, you could do someone who has made a difference for the worse. You could do Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, George W. Bush, and a lot more. I think that would actually be a good question to ask your teacher and would be a more original and thoughtful take on the project, no joke.
Or, of course, you could do someone that everyone is going to have thought of; Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks. I'm just saying that you could do maybe Henry Ford or someone more original than these. I'm not saying that they're bad or anything, just that everyone is going to pick someone like George Washington. [ missbananafontana's advice column | Ask missbananafontana A Question ]
hotpotato answered Thursday January 3 2008, 4:21 pm: A good difference or a bad difference? Just kidding.
Here are people:
- Dalai Lama
- Mother Teresa
- Martin Luther King
- Abraham Lincoln
- Mahatma Ghandi
- Nelson Mandela
- Frederick Douglass
- Eleanor Roosevelt
- Pope John Paul II
- Confucious
- Jane Addams
- Susan B. Anthony
- Malcolm X
- Rosa Parks
I don't know if it's okay but I listed people that sound like they would be good for a research paper in a history class. I don't know what your assignment is about in detail but hopefully those ideas helped you or got you started brainstorming. [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]
