Leadership and Legacy in History Your project must contain both elements of the theme. The leadership does not have to leave a positive legacy in history. This project is not meant to be a biography, the most important part of the project is to focus on the legacy. The project does not have to be about one leader, you can choose to complete your project on various leaders who left the same legacy.

Queen Elizabeth I The legacy left behind by the leader of a country. Queen Elizabeth I is widely considered England’s greatest monarch. You could discuss how her leadership impacted England.

NAACP The legacy left behind by a group. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People led the fight for civil rights and is a major reason the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed.

Steve Jobs The legacy left behind by the leader of a company. Steve Jobs founded a company that changed the way Americans compute, listen to music, communicate with each other and on and on.

John Locke The legacy left behind by a philosopher. John Locke was a thinker who pioneered such ideas as Natural Law, freedom of religion and freedom of thought.
