On this day in history in February 25, 1964, a guy named Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. who was born in Louisville, Kentucky made history at such a young age. On February 25, 1964, a crowd of 8,300 spectators gathered at the Convention Hall arena in Miami Beach to see if Cassius Clay, who was nicknamed the “Louisville Lip,” could put his money where his mouth was. At 22 years old Cassius Clay surprise million of people when he shocks the odds makers by take the title away from being the heavyweight boxing champion from the champ Sonny Liston in a seventh round technical knockout. Everyone expected Liston to win the fight because he had beaten the twice former champ Floyd Patterson in one round. In that fight he was at  8 to 1 favorite but Clay predicted his victory. This made his saying really famous “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” by knock out Liston in the eighth round.Complaining of an injured shoulder was in the seventh round is what caused home to lose the fight. It failed to answer the seventh round bell. Then a few moments later we had a new heavyweight champion was proclaimed. Then later on he rejected the name originally given to his family by a slave owner and took the Muslim name of Muhammad Ali.
 Muhammad Ali became a great influence to them at that time. Then he would go on to become one of the 20th century’s greatest boxing figures. This also impacted my people because they wore able to witness how he was put in the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Also because at the time back wore still treated unfairly he was able to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremonies of the Summer Games in Atlanta, Georgia. However he also inspected his daughter Laila who started her boxing debut in 1999.
This also affects us because at a White House ceremony in November 2005 Ali was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I was able to see the ceremony and be inspired. This made me want to be as great as he was. I wanted to fight like him. Also get all the awards and because better then him. It also affects us because he became part of our child hood.

On this day in history on February 19, 1847 it was when 89 people from Donner Party witch included 31 members of the Donner and Reed family wore first rescuers reach after getting lost. The group of emigrants wore by snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. There journey started in the summer of 1846,  went out on their wagons to the wagon train from Springfield in Illinois. There reason they left there home is because they want to go to California to start out a new life, other moved to because of the gold and free land. Other wore trying to get away from their debts. So this meant that they wanted to get to California as soon as possible and get there fast so after they arrived at Fort Bridger in Wyoming. They had decided to not take the usual route and try a new trail witch was recently made by a California promoter named Lansford Hastings witch they called The Hastings Cutoff. Witch they thought would be a faster route to California. They took this train after they elected George Donner as their captain of the Donner party. When the Donner party took the cutoff on Fort Bridger it was around the middle of July. But to their surprise the shortcut was nothing wasn't anything of what they expect, it wasn't even short at all. The Hastings Cutoff made the Donner Party back nearly three weeks and cost them much of their needed supplies. They suffered  great a lot in the Wasatch Mountains and also on the Great Salt Lake Desert and along the Humboldt River. Once they finally reached the Sierra Nevada Mountains it was in the beginning of October. The group then divided it's self but most of the group stayed near the a lake witch it is now known as Donner Lake. Others like the Donner family and had made a camp that was six miles away. They quickly started running out of food and supplies so they building tents out of their wagons and killing their oxen for food. But fifteen of their stronger people witch are now known as the Forlorn Hope. They l set out west on snowshoes for to find help on December 16. Then finally 2 weeks later after really bad weather and the lack of supplies killed many of the group members. Because of the lack of food this made them do cannibalism. luckily 7 group members wore able to reached a Native American village.Then later on the Sutter’s Fort got the best of the Donner Party and they made rescue party that set out on January 31 and wore able to find them 20 days later. When they wore finally rescued the camp was completely covered with snow on. They wore all in bad conditions and out of the 85 only 45 actually made it to California.
This had a great impact in people back then especially the rescuers how saw the dead people there and also how other people had eaten the others. They might have been scared because they had to good the starving group. They might have feared for their life also from being eaten. However this could have been a great experience for them because they help save others peoples life's. The most important way it impacted them was that it inspired three more rescue parties to help. Then way way this affected them negatively is because this could have got people scared to go on those trails to get to California.
However this had a great affect on us it help improve navigation systems. It also help us be more smarter and prepare ourself for long trips. Other things that improve because of this wore the rescue party's. They way they improve was so they could find a way to save more life faster and for it to be easy to find people that are lost a and need help. This had a great affect on me also because it helped me appreciate the good I get every day. It's also impacts me because it make me feel sorry for these people and gives me courage to help other who need it.

On this day in history on February 7 1876 it was when 29 year old Scottish guy named Alexander Graham Bell was finally able to receives a patent to be able to create his investigation witch it became a revolutionary invention of the new telephone. When Alexander Graham Bell was in Boston he became very interested in the possibility of transmitting speech over wires so people can speak to theirs easier. He was able to accomplish this with the help of a famous guy named Thomas Watson how was a machine shop employee. But hree days after it was made the telephone carried its first message the famous “Mr. Watson, come here, I need you” witch was send by Alexander Graham Bell to one of his assistants. He was inspired because of Samuel Morse’s invention of the telegraph in 1843. He was inspired because the telegraph had made instant communication possible between two different people at two different locations in no time. However he thought that it wasn't as good and as fast because it still required for hand delivery of one messages between telegraph stations to another. Also because only one message could be send at a time. Alexander Graham Bell wanted to create somethings better then the telegraph and improve the communication system. So he improve on this by creating somethings called “harmonic telegraph”  this device combined things that the telegraph had and record player to allow the people to speak to each other from a locations. On his first telephone the sound waves caused an electric current with intensity and frequency that causing a thin and soft iron plate that was called the diaphragm it vibrated. The vibrations were transferred magnetically to another wire that was connected to a diaphragm in to another distant instrument. Then when that diaphragm vibrate the original sound would be heard in the ear of the instrument once it was finally finished. Alexander Graham Bell patent filing beat a similar claim by a guy named Elisha Gray. He had beaten him by only two hours. Because he didn't want to be shut out of the communications market the Western Union Telegraph Company employed Gray and a famous inventor named Thomas Edison to develop their own telephone technology. But Alexander Graham Bell didn't like that so he sued and the case went all the way to the Supreme Court. Alexander Graham Bell upheld His patent rights and this gave him the win. Witch then this his company called the Bell Company that time witch then changed to American Telephone and Telegraph or as we now know as AT&T.
This had a great impact in many peoples life's back then. One way it did was Such a young Scottish that worked in London with his father was able to create such I useful invention. However Alexander Graham Bell wasn't only very helpful by making the telephone he help to teach speaking to the deaf. However one of the melts important thing it did It was that it helped this nation as a whole to progress. It made the the life of people a little more easy. This invention still now a days has a great impact.
One way Alexander Graham Bell invention affects me is because with out it I won't be able to do my on this day and turn it in before its 3:15. It also helps not only me but other people also when they have a emergency. They are able to contact the hospital so they can get a doctor to help them. The telephone has help many people get closer to each other even if they are far way. For example I have a sister that I wish I could see because I have seen her in 12 years and I wish I could see her again but I can't so the telephone as help me stay in contact with her. It has also had may improvements and now I could FaceTime with my family far away. It isn't the same as having the people you love with you but it helps you talk to them so you could know there okay.

On this day in history on January 28, 1986 the United States had one of its worst tragedies that was seen by millions of people. The space shuttle was supposed to  take off on January 23 but it was changed and so they had to wait six long days for the Challenger‘s to be launched. The reason it was delayed was because of weather and also technical problems. Then finally on day it was much on January 28 the shuttle took off. On this day the space shuttle Challenger took off from Cape Canaveral Florida and about two minutes later from its take off hundreds of people that wore on the ground and millions on live tv and even there family and friends saw how the shuttle got on fire and lots of smoke started coming out of the shuttle and blowing into millions of pieces in the middle of the area. In the space shuttle there wore 7 passengers. In those 7 passengers was Christa McAuliffe who she was going to becoming the first U.S. civilian to travel into space and McAuliffe also who she was a high school social studies teacher from New Hampshire.  McAuliffe to won a competition that gave her a place and be one of the 7 member crew of the Challenger. But in reality she had just won her self a ticket to her death. However a few months before they took McAuliffe was put in shuttle training so she could be prepared for the trip. This tragedy left no survivors all 7 of the passenger blow up into a million of pieces with out leaving any sign of them.
This affected the people in many way. One way it affected them is because they saw the death of innocent people. It was so unexpected and it could have effected the life of many people who saw this. It probably hurt the most their families because they couldn't do anything to save them but just watch and see them fall in a million pieces. This also affected the company because of law suit from family members. However this scared many people and they didn't want to send people up to salve for a while.
One way this affects us is because of this tragedy only professional go up to space. This means that I can't win a trip to space like the history teacher did. This also affects us in the way that it has become part of our history and many keep this people in their memories. However the main reason it affects me is because I have to write a essay about this for a weekly grade. Also because it gets me scared and makes me not want to be a astronaut because I don't want the space shuttle to blow up while I'm in the middle of the air. This also make me feel bad for the people that had to see this and the family of the affected ones.

On this day in history 1950 it was when 11 men pulled off one of the most historical robbery that had ever took place. This robbery took place in Boston Massachusetts where the 11 men stole from the Brinks Armored Car depot more than $2 million dollars in cash, coins, checks and money orders. The leader of the group was a guy called Anthony Pino or well knows as fats Pino. Anthony was really smart and new what he was doing because this wasn't his first time committing crimes. Anthony robbed for a living and he used his knowledge and recruited a group of 10 other men to recorded everything that happened at the depot for 18 months so they can know when it has the most amount of money so they can steal it. Anthony's men wore able to steal plans for the depot’s alarm system so they could know where it was at and how to turn it off and then returning them before anyone could ever noticed that they were gone. The way they dressed was really smart and the techniques they used. They went inside the depot with copied keys of the depot and tying up several of the employees that wore inside the company’s counting room. However they wore wearing things to make others think that they wore employees so people wouldn't suspect who they wore, so the had navy blue coats and caps that looked alike to the Brinks employee uniforms but the only difference was that they wore wearing rubber Halloween masks with it so they could hide their faces. The robbery was the perfect crime. Just because it was the perfect crime doesn't mean that they didn't have problems by filling 14  bags with with 2 million dollars witch weighted a total of more than half a ton the men had to struggle and carry all that money and in their getaway car. This took them about 30 minutes. Everything was going so perfect for them and until the robbers wore caught on January 1956 because of one of the men called Joseph O’Keefe was being looked for because of another robbery. When the group found out they thought he was going to snitch on them about the money. So they send people to kill him so he won't talk but the cops got him before they could kill him. Later on he made a deal with the F.B.I and just days before the statute of limitations for the theft expired the men wore caught.
This affect the whole country back in those time. The reason why was because the amount of money was big and no one had every stole so much money in 30 minutes until that day. This made lots of residents have mix emotions. Some people wore amazing of the amount of money they stoled and how long they had it with out getting caught and with out leavening evidence but the tops that they used to tie the employees. Other people wore scared because they felt unsafe and they felt that what if that could of been there money. However people wore also very angry of how they went pass there security sit with out getting caught and for them to have copies of the keys. This got the owner very angers because it made him look like a fool. He was also mad because they had to face lawsuit for the owners of the money that was told. This had a great impact in the people because all they want was pease but with this they feel unsafe for them and their money also.
This also had a great effort on us because it this help the security system to be reinforced and with better technology that would make it hard to get through. It also affected us because of events like these are the reason why people don't have trust them with their money. This also could have inspired some to stop other from doing crimes like those. It could have also inspired another brainless person to steal a greater amount of money so he could make history also. This has both negative and positive affects on us.

Grand Canyon

This day in history on January 11, 1908, it was when the twenty six president Theodore Roosevelt who had a particular affection for American west made the Grand Canyon in northwestern Arizona into a national monument. Also the Congress didn't let any private development in the Grand Canyon. Then later on in 1919 President Woodrow Wilson then signed a act that made it a park. That act was called the Grand Canyon National Park Act. During 13 century there wore still some native Americans this still live in or near the Grand Canyon. Later on by the end of the 19th century the Grand Canyon had thousands of tourists each year that came to visit it. Now days nearly more then 5 million people visited the Grand Canyon every year. Later on Theodore Roosevelt became one of its most famous tourist that visit the Grand Canyon. The monument was 800 acres of land. When the first time the European knew of the Grand Canyon existence was until 1540. The reason was because the members of an expedition who's leader was a famous Spanish explorer called Francisco Vasquez de Coronado. The reason for this was because of its location and how it was manny centuries passed before North American settlers actually explored the Grand Canyon. The first American exploration started by a group 10 men that wore lead by a men call geologist John Wesley Powell. Geologist John Wesley Powell explosion took place in 1869. The explosion started on the Colorado River and had to go for  277 mile long. This trip was hard for them because they did this in only four rowboats. However after Theodore Roosevelt become a president he made environmental conservation a big part of his presidency and made it one of his mine points. After establishing the National Wildlife Refuge to take care of the country’s animals. Roosevelt put more important in the federal regulation of public lands. Even though a area could be a national park all private development on that land was illegal only by an act of Congress but Roosevelt changed things by beginning a new presidential practice of a similar to national monument designation for the West’s greatest treasures.
This affect them in many different ways. One way it affected then was that they couldn't build and private industry because it would be illegal. However it was easy for people to  get there. One way to get to the Grand Canyon it is by foot easy to get there when you don't have a car to move around. There are many other ways such as by car or boat. This help them also economically also because of how they got more tourists to came in and see then Grand Canyon. However these tourists bought things like souvenirs. Another way it could affect them because they got a great population near the area was by the Gand Canyon.
This also has a great affect on us because we use it to for many different like extreme sports such as whitewater rafting and hiking. One of the most popular this to do their is for running. Many choose to to enjoy the beautiful and breathtaking view from the canyon. This monument has become history for us because it's been unchanged for over 400 years. This also affects us because it can inspire people of the beauty that God has created for us. It also helps want to learn about it and know its history.
