The young people in our US History classes are the next generation of what we hope will be active members of American society. Whether they become active voters, communicate regularly with elected officials, or simply have discussions with other people, students need to be informed and learn to express themselves properly in the public domain. The student blogs linked to this site will be a prime example of students doing just that.

Modern Day Philanthropists
US Students,
This link http://givingpledge.org/ is to the "Giving Pledge".
This link will allow you to see how a small percentage of wealthy Americans view and use their weatlh for the greater good. Modern day philanthropy for sure. Some of the names will look very familiar so browse and pick ONE that looks interesting.
Your assignment is to open the link and pick ONE peron or couple and post what you think about how they are using their wealth...very very open ended here. So just some opinion and thought.
Mr.K
