Should We Have A History Standardized Test

I think it is a good thing that their was no history standardize test because then people would half to stress out more about the test. The pro about having a history standardized test  would be that you get a chance to test your knowledge of history and the con would be that the teachers would half to prepare us and to have a history standardized test would make it so testing is longer. I think their should only be a math and reading standardized test because they are the two major test skill.

Tuskegee Airmen

A lesson we can learn from the Tuskegee Airmen and Lt. Broad water is to always fight for what you want and nver give up even if some people try to knock you down and tell you you cant do it . They showed this by never giving up or stop what they wantd to do even though people told them they could never be a airmen.

The Blackfoot Tribe

The Blackfoot were a powerful buffalo-hunting society of the northern plains. The Blackfoot's main source of food was buffalo. Besides cooking and cleaning, a Blackfoot woman built her family's house and dragged the heavy posts with her whenever the tribe moved. Houses belonged to the women in the Blackfoot tribe. Blackfoot men were hunters and sometimes went to war to defend their families. Most Blackfoot chiefs and warriors were men. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music. Since the Blackfeet moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, a tipi was carefully designed to set up and break down quickly, like a modern tent. An entire Blackfoot village could be packed up and ready to move within an hour.

The Story of Dorie

Dorie Miller was born in Waco, Texas on October 12, 1919. His parents were Henrietta and Connery Miller, he had three brothers, one of which served in the Army during World War II. While attending Moore High School in Waco, he was a fullback on the football team. He worked on his father's farm before enlisting in the U.S Navy as Mess Attendant, Third Class, at Dallas, Texas, on September 16, 1939, to travel, and earn money for his family. He later was commended by the Secretary of the Navy, was advanced to Mess Attendant, Second Class and First Class, and subsequently was promoted to Cook, Third Class. In July of that year he had temporary duty aboard USS Nevada (BB-36) at Secondary Battery Gunnery School.On December 7, 1941, when the Japanese made their infamous surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, a black cook, Dorie Miller took over a machine gun aboard the USS West Virginia. "It wasn't hard. I just pulled the trigger and she worked fine. I had watched the others with these guns. I guess I fired her for about fifteen minutes. I think I got one of those Jap planes. They were diving pretty close to us." After the battle was over  Dorie Miller was commended by the Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox on April 1, 1942, and on May 27, 1942 he received the Navy Cross, which Fleet Admiral, Chester W. Nimitz, the Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet personally presented to Miller on board aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) for his extraordinary courage in battle.
