    The “Baby Boom Generation” is now entering their golden years and this generation is going to contribute to the overall statistic of those who are in the “Old-old”, ages 75-84, and the “Oldest-old”, ages 85 and older, population.

For example, African Americans still have to fight to be treated fairly and equally, despite being told previously that they were free citizens.

    I think that the ‘pens’ played a more crucial role in the American Revolution to gain independence. With the help of Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson, these three men did many things to win independence from the British.

This speech inspired and motivated all the other ‘pens’ and ‘swords’ to fight for their independence and do something.…
