Today we wish a very Happy Birthday to the great Micheal Jeffrey Jordan. Jordan is a famed basketball player and formal minor league baseball player born in New York, N.Y. Micheal is a historic figure in the basketball community and has played 15 seasons in the NBA, winning six championships with the Chicago Bulls. Michael is the owner of The Jordan Brand, owns the Charlotte Hornets basketball team, and devotes some of his time and resources toward charitable groups. He's also a grandpa now, and makes sure to spend time with his family.

Happy Birthday to the great Fredrick Douglass. Frederick was an escaped slave who became a prominent activist, author and public speaker. He became a leader in the abolitionist movement, which sought to end the practice of slavery, before and during the Civil War. He was the publisher of The North Star, an antislavery newspaper. The North Star soon developed into one of the most influential African American antislavery publications of the pre-Civil War era.
