Hi Folks,

We are beginning a 4th grade project to research people who impacted Illinois history. We are not looking for people who were just born in Illinois, but people who had an impact on Illinois history. So yes to Jane Adams (Hull House), but not Walt Disney.

I would appreciate any suggestions, especially if you know of more regional people that might not be as well known.

Some that we are already considering:
Gwendolyn Brooks
Daniel H Burnham
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Frank Lloyd Wright
John Deere
Cyrus McCormick
Daniel Hale Williams - open heart surgery
Louis Joliet
Robert Cavelier de la Salle
Marshall Field
William Wrigley
Robert R McCormick
Jesse Jackson
Enrico Fermi



Thanks in advance,
Stephanie
