Harriet Ann Jacobs (February 11, 1813 – March 7, 1897) was an African-American writer who escaped from slavery and was later freed. She became an abolitionist speaker and reformer. Jacobs wrote an autobiographical novel, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, first serialized in a newspaper and published as a book in 1861 under the pseudonym Linda Brent. It was a reworking of the genres of slave narrative and sentimental novel, and was one of the first books to address the struggle for freedom by female slaves, explore their struggles with sexual harassment abuse, and their effort to protect their roles as women and mothers.
Accomplishments of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) range from helping establish reform to building strong communities. The group helped promote civil rights and played a part in ending segregation.

Intelligent organisms on the other hand, can adapt to extreme changes and had a very high likelihood to survive to the next generation. (humans for example can live in both cold north pole and hot dessert while no other organisms able to live in two completely different climate, indicating how good we are in adapting to our environment)
