George died in December 14, 1799. George Washington was one of our great heroes because he was our first president and was also an American general.

Rosa Parks

One a ordinary day, Rosa Parks was riding the Montgomery City bus home. Rosa sat in the middle of the bus on her ride home, when the bus was filled the driver asked all the 4 blacks to move to the back to the bus. Rosa refused to move so for that, she got arrested. Rosa is one of our great heroes cause fought for freedom.

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman was a runaway slave in Maryland. She is known as the “Moses of her people”. Harriet led hundreds of slaves to freedom under the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad was a secret passage way to safe houses where runaway slaves could stay on their journey to have freedom She was also a spy during the Civil War, as well as a nurse. I believe she is a hero for sending a hundred slaves free from being a slave.
