  1. Thandie Newton -- Pursuit Of Happyness
    Actress Thandie Newton must really like yelling a lot, because she's had a lot of chances to do it in her last two movies, the surprise Oscar winner Crash and the upcoming drama The Pursuit of Happyness opposite Will Smith. Smith plays the real-life Chris Gardner, a down on his luck salesman trying to land his dream job as a stockbroker, and Newton is his unsupportive wife. It's a pretty dark and dramatic role for the actress, because in some ways, it makes her the antagonist of the film.
  2. Declaration of Independence -- John Adams
    Regardless, the Declaration of Independence drew upon Christianity and the Enlightenment English philosopher John Locke. In his famous work "Two Treatises on Government" (1690), Locke declared that all men have the natural (inalienable) rights of "life, liberty and estate (property)." Adam Smith, the great economist, modified this to be "life, liberty and the pursuit of property." Notably the Declaration of Independence does not emphasize a right to pursue property... speaking instead in favor of pursuit of "happiness".

Three others--Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts and George Mason and Edmund Randolph of Virginia--refused to sign because they lacked confidence in the document's ability to rule the nation. But although no one realized it at the time, the document the delegates signed that day not only gave rise to the government of a new nation, but became a symbol of hope for oppressed peoples all over the world.
  10. Harriet Tubman -- Life
    One of America's most important documents is the Declaration of Independence, written nearly 50 years before Harriet Tubman was born.
