Anne, Okay, let's take this off list after this because I don't think everyone needs or wants to read this, but . . . I did look at the SOLs. As I said in my initial post, my list was explicitly of Virginians mentioned in the SOLs and does not include non-Virginians. Everyone on my list seems to be in the SOLs. Perhaps I missed a Virginian? If so, let me know.

Most of the people you listed are also named in the SOLs. In general, fourth graders in Virginia specifically study Virginia History, and all of the people on the list are at least mentioned in the history books, including that horrid man, Harry Flood Byrd. When I did the Famous Americans pages, his was the hardest page to do in a positive light. Check out http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/famamer to see how I handled that disgraceful man.
