Why is it important for students to learn that private citizens such as elizabeth cady stanton (women’s right to vote), william lloyd garrison (abolition of slavery), and martin luther king, jr. (equal rights for african americans) have made a positive difference in american society?

One of the most important reasons why students should learn about how private citizens such as these have made a positive difference in American society is because this might inspire them to do the same. Sometimes people feel like individual actions are of no consequence, and that a common person cannot change the world. However, by learning about these people, students might realize that this is not true, and that everyone can make a difference for their country and the world.
