He was born in november 30 1874. Throughout his life he has shown strength , wisdom and perseverance. For example during world war 2 he didn't give in to the Nazis. Another example was when he was put out of office but he persevered he got back in. However he is best known for his amazing speeches. He inspired many people to fight against the Nazis. He inspired hope and courage in the hearts of many people. during this time world war 2 was raging on.Many people wanted to quit in the face of Germany ,but he didn't. Winston churchill once said”but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon not feel deeply thankful.” This shows even though the war is raging on, and it has its ups, and downs he is still standing strong. He is thankful that England now has allies and they will fight to the death together. He stands proud through adversity and does what's right. This is why Winston Churchill is a great man and one everyone should aspire to be like.
Cause and effect
There was a huge amount of racism in baseball in the 1900s. When branch Rickey was just a coach in college baseball he saw firsthand some of the effects. One effect of racism was that Charlie was refused a room to sleep in and had to share a room with branch. Charlie was a african american baseball player in college. Because of him being african american he has experienced this before but it still hurt.Charlie was then tearing at his hands saying I’d be better if I were white. Branch saw this and vowed to change baseball for the better. Branch hired Jackie Robinson to play baseball and to help fight racism. This happened because of what branch has seen threw his life as a coach for african american kids. Jackie showed people in definitive terms that blacks were just as good as whites. Jackie Robinson was a key player in civil rights because of this. When Jackie was drafted into the Dodgers people saw this a rallying point. Jackie Robinson forever changed baseball and civil rights with what he did and preserved through. The noble experiment was a huge breakthrough in civil rights. This was almost 8 years before Rosa Parks said no on the bus in 1955.
