Who am I? I was born in Atlanta Georgia. I was a Baptist minister. I founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. I won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. I gave a speech to over 200,000 people at a rally in Washington, D.C. I was shot and killed on April 4, 1968. Who am I?

Martin Luther King Jr.

Who am I? I am one of history’s greatest disasters. I occurred in the early morning hours of April. I destroyed 28,000 buildings, left 250,000 people homeless, and took 500 lives. I caused water lines to break, and gas lines to ignite into flames. I nearly destroyed all of San Francisco. Who am I?

San Francisco Earthquake

Who am I? I am an important time in history. During my time, Herbert Hoover was president. During my time, the stock market was booming. People borrowed money to buy stocks. Stock prices fell and the market “crashed.” Banks failed, people lost their life savings, and ¼ of workers lost their jobs. Who am I?

1929

Who am I? I am a mystery. I was like an ocean liner in the sky. I was 804 foot long with cabins for passengers, a dining room, and a lounge with a grand piano. I was filled with the highly flammable gas, hydrogen. I was carrying 97 people to New York when I exploded in a giant ball of fire. I took the lives of 36 people. Who am I?

Hindenburg

Who am I? I took place in July. I took place in Pennsylvania. I was one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles. More than 51,000 soldiers lost their lives. On July 3, General George Pickett was driven back. Lee was forced to retreat into Virginia. I am the largest battle ever fought in America. Who am I?

The Battle of Gettysburg

Who am I? I took place in April. I was headed to New York from Southampton. I had 2,200 people on board. I was considered “unsinkable”. At 11:40 p.m., I struck an iceberg causing a 300 foot gash in my hull. At 2:20 a.m., I sank into the icy North Atlantic taking over 1500 passengers with me. Who am I?
