 Great stories move people. So do great people. Cora Wilson Stewart was suc
 h a person. In 1911\, she was the first female superintendent of education
  for an Appalachian county in Kentucky\, a corner of America with a shocki
 ng rate of adult illiteracy. Cora had a plan: To open the county&rsquo\;s 
 rural schoolhouses on moonlit nights to illiterate and semi-illiterate adu
 lts. On that first night\, she hoped for 150 adults. To her shock and deli
 ght\, over 1200 men and women\, aged eighteen to eighty\, made their way o
 ver the hills and hollows to learn how to read and write. Within two years
 \, adult illiteracy was virtually eliminated in the county&nbsp\;and a mov
 ement to eradicate illiteracy in the entire nation was underway.&nbsp\;</p
