Famous People that Shaped Our World

Hello blog readers, it’s Miss Queenie here. One of the things that I love to do is read history. I am my family’s history buff. When most people think of historical figures, they think of all the war heros, inventors, presidents, and other people like that. Most of them miss out on the artists and movie stars, etc.They are all part of history. But what makes them stand out, is that they inspire people.
From the end of the First World War to the beginning of the Great Depression, life was full of trials for the people of America. But what kept them going was the movies. In the movies, at that point in time, was none other than the curly-top, child star Shirley Temple.
In 1932, she began her acting career at age three. Little Shirley danced and sang her way through the movies, and into people's hearts. Shirley and her tap dance partner, Bill Robinson, were one of the greatest dance partners of the ages. She inspired her fans, both young and old. Her curly hair was as iconic as her dancing. It was only 59 curly curls.
Shirley was iconic and beloved because she inspired people through her joy and happiness. She whisked people off from all the crazy stuff that happened to their happy place. I hope you guys enjoyed my post. Peace ya’ll! - Miss Queenie
The early 1900's were home to some of the most brilliant inventors in history. While Henry Ford did not actually invent the automobile or the assembly line, he is often credited with both achievements due to his role in popularizing them. When Henry was young, he would, out of curiosity, take apart pocket watches and put them back together to learn how the pieces worked. This curiosity eventually led him to create a horseless carriage, the Ford Quadricycle, which was a novel idea at the time. His employer, Thomas Edison, encouraged him to build more and sell them. In 1903, He founded the Ford Motor Company. Five years later, the Model T car became available to the people. With his company, Henry brought the automobile to middle class Americans with the help of the quick and efficient assembly line, which he sponsored. Ford Motor Company also used franchising, another new concept, to allow wider distribution of their product. Henry Ford revolutionized American business with his use of the assembly line and the Model T. He is considered one of the most important American businessmen of all time. Henry Ford’s achievements make him my favorite person from the early 1900s. - SouperMarioBro
