"The Underdogs"

I totally disagree with the quote "People are small, and most don't matter; therefore, they should be concerned with bettering their corner of the world and nothing larger." Some of the greatest minds that have bettered our country and the world have been "underdogs."  They were told that they could not change the world, well they have.  Finally racism was overcome with the Civil Rights Act, when everyone was told they could not do it.  Now, we have a Black President, who happened to had grown up without his father in his life and was raised by his grandparents.  In situations like that, usually people say "hopefully he'll make it to the age of 25." Now, he is the first Black President of the United States.  I believe that when a person puts their mind to something whether small or larger it can be accomplished.  One person's voice can turn into a million voices if it is loud enough.
