J South,

Again, you pick the one person who is NOT difficult to teach children about. 
Susan B. Anthony is the one who is hard to teach since, at least according 
to those who maintain her historical site, there is not a single picture of 
her smiling. My little students who were making a powerpoint one year about 
the 2nd grade SOL people, commented that "she looks like she got up grumpy 
that morning". The historians I told this to, said that she was a very 
serious person.

Many 2nd graders are playing little league baseball and see heroes in those 
who mastered the game. In that sense, Jackie Robinson is a graceful way to 
make history less onerous!
