the time he was 25, Christopher had sailed to France, Africa, and Greece.<br />
He had seen strange cities and had many adventures. But his greatest<br />
adventure would come when he set out for China and found a whole new<br />
world instead.<br />

JOAN HEILBRONER<br />

good leader. As he grew older, George saw how England took advantage<br />
of the American colonies—and he didn’t like it. When the colonies<br />
declared their independence, George was chosen to lead their army as its<br />
general. And when the colonies won their freedom, George was elected to<br />
lead the new nation as its first president.<br />

JAMES T. DE KAY<br />

use the water fountains the white children drank from—and he didn’t<br />
understand why. As he grew older, he studied hard and practiced speaking<br />
to large groups. He marched and petitioned to change laws that separated<br />
blacks from whites. As the leader of America’s civil rights movement, he<br />
inspired—and continues to inspire—millions of people to help change<br />
this country for the better.<br />
