TO vs UPON / LAST vs EXIST

Could you help me correct these 3 sentences?

1 He brought shame to/upon our family.
2 How long did the longest empire last/exist?/What was the longest lived empire?/Who had the longest surviving empire?
3 34% is still a very big percentage who blame racism for their troubles. Racism is getting big/is growing.

Thank you

Mr Micawber,

I just saw that you couldn't say:

She brought shame TO...

How come you didn't correct it? or is it ok and I'm mistaken?

Thank you
