Iqbal
Iqbal accomplished many things in his life. He was sold, then he escaped, then he made child labor world known. Iqbal was sold for 12 dollars so his brother could get married. He was sold to a carpet weaver until his parents could pay off their debt, but over the years the interest grew so his parents couldn't buy him back. He later escaped at age 10. After Iqbal escaped, he learned 6 years worth of schooling in 2. He then traveled around the world and made child labor world known. Iqbal returned to Pakistan after visiting the U.S.A. in order to "finish what he started". In Pakistan, he was shot and killed on his grandmother's porch.
