Summary:
This is the web site that provided the photo along with a small biography of his life.
Audience and agenda:
NNDB is a website where you can find biographies on notable people throughout history, and connects them to other notable people.
Usefulness:
This gives viewers a sense of the history of Pell grants, and how the grant got its name. The only thing that this website does not give is more history on Claiborne Pell. According to wikipedia, pell grants were initially created to educate the incarcerated in order to prevent them from repeating their offenses.
