Who Is a Famous American? Charting Historical Memory Across the Generations
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 89, No. 09 (May 2008): 643-648.
Sam Wineburg and Chauncey Monte-Sano
The authors conducted a survey of 2,000 high school juniors and seniors across the U.S. to find whom these students thought were the most famous Americans in history, excluding Presidents and First Ladies. They also surveyed 2,000 adults. They found a strong overlap in the top 10 names listed by students and adults, as well as a shift in names from white males to people of color of both sexes.
