Bush joins then-President-elect Obama, then-President George W. Bush and fellow former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter for lunch.

"The Little Rock Nine" --These 9 teenagers integrated the white high school in Little Rock, AR. They were kicked, ridiculed, threatened, called every name, spat on, ignored, and had acid thrown in their faces. Pres.

All have lead highly successful lives. And all are heroes.

Queen Liliʻuokalani - last ruler of Hawaii - as a teenager. Her statement of surrender to the US ended: "Now, to avoid any collision of armed forces and perhaps loss of life, I do, under this protest, and impelled by said forces, yield my authority until such time as the Government of the United States shall, upon the facts being presented to it, undo the action of its representative and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands."
