Lillian Moore Speech

Thank you very much for your generosity! Honestly, there are no words to accurately express my humble gratitude for this remarkable gift offered by you, Marion and Anne Williams. I'm soon to be an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, and I plan to both major in Astronautical Engineering and minor in Computer Science. Ever since my early childhood, I've always been fascinated by the unknowns of space. For instance, it's quite hard to imagine looking at something as massive as Jupiter when you're only given images on Google. Although the images are tremendous, just looking at the planet with your very own eyes could make an astronaut out of anyone. Yet, I'm not actually looking forward to be an astronaut. It's been my dream to work at NASA, but it's

Did you know, before Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama there was Shirley Chisholm. Shirley Chisholm was an African American female congresswoman who ran for the presidency in 1972, as a Democrat. When she ran for presidency she didn’t run for the blacks or for females, she ran for the people of America. To be a social game changer implies that an individual must be an impact towards change and inspire others to change. Shirley Chisholm was an excellent congress person she had a special insight with words and established herself as an outspoken person & was determined for change early in her 1st term. Her presidential crusade was unexpected & historical, and she spoke out her mind on the equality for the people.

Sojourner Truth’s “Ain't I A Woman” Speech is a very symbolic address to women’s rights of her time. Among the eyes of many, women were not held to the same standards as men when it came to working, voting, and property rights. Truth felt this speech would be a great way to get people to accept women as being equal to all others. Truth’s speech highlights how the people’s understanding of what a woman can do is very limited and the many different context in which women lives are different. Truth wants the world to know that women are just as intelligent and strong as everyone else (men), and they should be held to the same standards and have equal rights. Although women's rights have progressed over the years, optimism regarding the furtherment of women’s rights is still prevalent among communities.

Mrs. LaToya Cantrell is the candidate for the people she has dedicated her life to serving her community and improving their quality of living for the city of New Orleans. I am supporting Mrs. Latoya Cantrell because her agenda is for the people. It is not many people that hold a sit in the government that stills listen to the concerns of the citizens. Also, try to go out their way to address those concerns. Latoya is a more of a Community leader than a Politician. As citizens, we complain about the lack of representation for all in the government. I believe that she is the candidate to help fix the city problems and contribute to bringing communities back to life. Don’t you want someone that listens and cares about your concern and take action?

“Well it started on a day in which I met a nice guy named Jimmy Wells. We met at a restaurant twenty years ago. We had a great time and we both said we would meet again at the exact same spot and the exact same time in twenty years.”

“Ain’t I a Woman?” is a speech given by a woman named Sojourner Truth, but her real name was Isabella Baumfree.

Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech was given at the Women’s Convention of 1851 held in Akron, Ohio to address not only black women rights, but women’s rights period. Truth spoke to the Women’s Convention about how her experience of being a woman differs from other women—specifically white women, but she does not understand why considering she functions just like other women do. To prove her point, she uses personal experiences and biblical references for her Christian listeners.

Sojourner Truth was a respectful and strong woman. First, she was an African-American abolitionist and women’s right activist. Second, Sojourner Truth gives her famous “ Ain’t I a Woman” speech. Third, she spoke her mind and wanted to be treated equally. Overall, she a strong African American woman who spoke her mind and was honored by her action.

It helped rekindle the world’s love for reading and encourage many to pursue writing. J.K. Rowling is a role model for young women, she gained recognition from her intelligence and creativity instead of physical features. She encourages women to pursue their dreams through their hardships,have determination, to express imagination, overcome failures and to excel in areas where sexist opinions are still held. This is demonstrated in her quote “Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life”.
