Cliopatria reports on a survey of American high school juniors and seniors asked to name the ten most famous Americans in history. The results:

1. Martin Luther King Jr.: 67%
2. Rosa Parks: 60%
3. Harriet Tubman: 44%
4. Susan B. Anthony: 34%
5. Benjamin Franklin: 29%
6. Amelia Earhart: 25%
7. Oprah Winfrey: 22%
8. Marilyn Monroe: 19%
9. Thomas Edison: 18%
10. Albert Einstein: 16%

I’m going to see what the response I get from my 7th and 4th graders at home.
