The empowering musical legend, John Lennon, recalls the sixties as a time of maturation and optimism for the world as a whole. Instead of fighting world wars, cowering in economic depression, or riding the wave of regularity, people began to express the values near and dear to their hearts. Four young men in particular took to the stage to spark this wildfire of change. From their humble beginnings in Liverpool clubs, the band infamously known as The Beatles, made up of John Lennon, Paul…

these men and woman the consideration that they deserve. To begin with, Ellis considers George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, James Madison, and John Adams the “Founding Fathers” of our country.
