My famous person is Joe Montana he is the graetest Quarter back in the NFL. He always could take his team from loosing to winning. he was known as the come back kid cause when the team was loosing at the end of the game. They would bring Joe Montana in to get the win.

jakie robinson is a famous baseball player. jakie robinson was the first african american to play proffesional baseball. He broke the color boundary. jakie played for the Dogers and was a great athlete.His bravery and courage made him what he was. Everyone said he was a trouble maker which he was not. he seemed like one because he stood up for him self by protecting his rights once when a bus driver told him to sit at the back he refused. But i think he was braave since he never talked back or fought back when he was getting picked at at 1st base in every game because he was a different skin color.
