TED Talk

I have always been really interested in why things are the way they are today and the people and events that shaped the world we now live in. I have lived near Philadelphia my entire life and have always been taken by the beauty of the city. The simplicity of the buildings and the tiny colonial streets are not common in today's society. But who made it that way? For my TED talk, I plan on looking into the history of the Quakers, or Society of Friends, and seeing how their story has affected our city so greatly in ways we may not outwardly recognize.

Quakers have truly done remarkable things for this city. Check out some of them: http://www.philadelphia-reflections.com/topic/85.htm
