"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead was born on December 18, 1901, and died on November 15, 1978 due to cancer. She was an anthropologist. An anthropologist is someone who studies culture and finds equality and differences in culture. Margaret also did studies on the equality and differences between both genders. Her mother and father were both educators. Mead attended Doylestown High School. For her college education, she went to Depauw University and Elmira. During the World War, she wrote many books. She also went to New Guinea and found that there were more similarities than differences. One book that she did write was "Coming of Age In Samoa." She also wrote many other books on the subject.

In her lifetime, many wars and difficult times were going on. One example was the split between black people and white people. Martin Luther King  Jr. had a small group of people that believed that the separation should stop. They helped end the discrimination against blacks.
