Berry didn't just have a noisy start, but a noisy childhood too. Because his family's church was located near his home, the church choir would often rehearse in Berry's house. Chuck Berry remembered being a young boy and tapping his foot to his mother's piano. His family would sing almost all the time, even while washing the dishes or eating dinner. While Berry did try carpentry and even hairdressing, he always returned to music. After all, music was in his bones.

At 6 feet tall and 165 pounds (maybe), Allen Iverson was the smallest first-overall draft pick in the history of the National Basketball Association. Everyone wanted to know if he could survive in NBA’s land of big men. By the end of his debut season, he had set records and earned awards such as NBA Rookie of the Year. Allen proved that not only could he survive in the NBA, but that he could come out on top as well. Although he has been criticized for his "bad boy" image, Allen has been working to overcome that without severing his ties to his past and who he is. Controversy? It follows Allen. But, no one can debate the contribution he has made to the NBA.

The Seminole Nation formed in the 1700s when tribes from Georgia and Florida banded together for protection. Over the next hundred years, Native American tribes in northern Florida joined them, as did African Americans who had escaped from slavery. Inspired by courageous leaders such as Osceola and medicine man Abiaka, the Seminole resisted the U.S. Army's attempts to remove them from their homeland. The Seminole call themselves the "unconquered people" because they never surrendered or signed a peace treaty at the end of U.S. military action. Today, the Seminole strive to create conomic opportunities for their tribe as well as to preserve their heritage and culture.
