Shirley Temple is the historical figure I would like to meet. She won the heart of the working man and with her firmly held views, inspired confidence in the values of the 1930's, which helped bring America out of the great depression. She became known as "America's Princess" after a film titled "The Little Princess," and continuing public duty and service (Black Temple Shirley, Child Star: An Autobiography).
There are a million and one questions which come to my mind, which I would ask of Shirley; What was it like to be a child star, Did she ever think she would be one the significant contributors to American history for her work during the depression, What made her grow up faster than her time, What were her experiences with cancer how did she forage ahead so bravely? In some ways this is the sad story of a little Princess who gave so much, but who was forced to live in the shadow of her former self as a child. The other side of this is that Shirley has lived usefully while the little Princess goes on, giving happiness to Mum's or Dad's who would love such a Daughter, and to generations of Kids who discover her for the first time. Her legacy is not only the wonderful films and music with solid family values, but the huge number of studio stills, dolls and collectibles from many countries. (Blashfield F. Jean, Shirley Temple Black, 1900).
Shirley temple was a remarkable actress and even more remarkable women. In today's troubled world, the ideals of Shirley Temple are still relevant: the importance of the family unit, to be cheerful, love our neighbors, show tolerance to other races and work to uphold standards and peace in the world around us. Shirley is not just a little girl with curls, but a role model for the future

Members of these groups interact with members of the Giro groups. The images that link these "spirit groups" (Shapiro, p. 832) are "maintained and codified through the agency of the symbols of blood, oil, honey and water." The rituals go well beyond "what Catholicism teaches" and indeed through these cultural activities the participants are rejecting Catholicism (which Lily certainly was doing in Kidd's novel) and saying that slaves have

At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
