Maybe a badger? Or a bird of some kind.

I'd say either seal or dolphin tbh

Okay it seems like some type of dog is the popular opinion

What about a German Shepherd?

You should look up Benjamin Piatt Runkle just just do it. You won't regret the decision I promise.

OMG IT'S THE HISTORICAL FRAT BOY I LOVE THIS GUY.

The Hamilton/Laurens letters?

Yeah this is definitely one of the topics I was considering.

I'd say a full bio, but I'm not exactly representative of most people.

I feel like a full bio would be the easiest way to fill up 50 minutes.

I think social history might be more attractive to teens than a biography class...Speaking of young people I was chatting with my sister who's taking a History of the South class and I told her to be sure to bring up Laurens, so that will be a thing

I know what you mean.  But I feel wary of tackling just one topic like the black regiment, because then I'd also need to discuss the history of slavery in the South, which is a much larger topic that I have very basic knowledge of.  But I'm glad you've told your sister about Laurens!
