Every activist started out as a kid‚ and in some cases, they were kids when their activism began!

Dolores Huerta was once wrongly accused of plagiarizing in school.

Every great artist started out as a kid. Forget the awards, the sold-out museum exhibitions, and the timeless masterpieces.

And football superstar Peyton Manning was forced to dance the tango in his school play.
