The bill of Rights is very important because they protect our liberties and freedoms from the government. Without the Bill of Rights, the government can do whatever they want to us. The belief that all men are created equal is implemented to all American citizens. They protect states' rights from the National government to an extent as well. The Bill of Rights was added to the U.S. Constitution in December 15, 1791. The Bill of Rights consists of the basic 10 amendments, then the other amendments added down the years up to about 26 amendments.
The person I thought was most important was Martin Luther King Jr. He made a impact on the world because He was a leader in black rights lead to a law passed to stop discrimination. He also was very instrumental in organizing the boycott of the buses in Montgomery, Alabama, the sit-ins and protests in Birmingham, AL, the protests in Albany, GA, and the March on Washington in August 1963 - the "I have a dream" speech that opened the world's eyes to the discrimination of the black people and the fact that the Civil Rights Movement was not stopping until it obtained both respect and freedom. Go to your library and take out the book - The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr. It is in the biography section and Clay borne Ca writes it.
Knowing your own history, or the history of your culture, is important because it helps us to know who we are while molding the future. Being familiar with what went on before gives us the ability to not only learn from past mistakes, but from the successes as well.
If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.Knowing history with help you Live Today. this is a quote about history today. i think i relate to this quote because with out history i don't think i would understand most of the stuff that goes on today.
knowing the importance of history is very import because it will help you move on in life and knowing history can also help you get a better job like if you'd want to work in a museum and help other people learn the importance of knowing history.
