Each entry must include three subsections. The subsections should cover the important information relevant to the topic.
Examples of subsections for individuals include: Early Life; Career; Awards; and Personal Life. Examples of subsections for events include: Background; Road to Event; Controversy; and Cultural References. [THESE ARE EXAMPLES, NOT REQUIRED SUBSECTIONS].
Legacy Section
