I learned that Claiborne Pell was a blue-collar Rhode Island in the U.S. Senate for 36 years he was an unabashed liberal who spent his political career championing causes to help the less fortunate.
Our two topics have nothing to do with each other. His was on a Senator who recently passed away and mine was on a large city. It can relate to our class theroretical foundation, my topic was a very diverse, and cultual city and his was on a man who tried to make our country a better place for all people in all classes. http://dhamilton2c.blogspot.com/
