Sunday October 15, 2023                                                                                   This is Malala Yousafzai Malala is a woman that spoke up for the right for education. But she mostly speaked up for the girls in the world because where she was from girls weren't allowed to go to school and study.

He was judged by his skin color even though he was raised by white parents. They judged him for being a great quarterback but the thing was that his skin color didn’t help him because even though he was a great quarterback some people still didn’t like him. He then started to get curious and wanted to know more of his traditions and the way they treat and talk to colored people because he never really knew anything about his traditions. He then started to see and realize that African Americans weren’t treated right and that they abused and were killing African Americans.  He decided to protest by not standing for the USA flag. People said that ...
