Steve Biko
A leader of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, Biko saw that in order to triumph, a new generation must be educated to be able to confront the leaders of the Apartheid government. He radicalized and educated the township youth within the Black Conciousness Movement, planting the seeds of education within the generation that would eventually win freedom for blacks in South Africa. While embracing non-violence, he did not believe in passivity and would confront his oppressors on their terms.
He was murdered by the police on 11 September, 1977.

Albert Einstein...he virtually singlehandedly made the 20th century the greatest era of technological advancement...imagine being around in the early 1900's and getting to experience everything that transpired from then until the year 2000 in technology. You can thank his theory of General Relativity for the bulk of that!

Hanibal Barca.
Easily the best, under rated, military genius in the worlds history
^To the person above me
Yea, Peter the great was pretty cool. Mainly because he taxed cucumbers, mirrors, and beards. He also had midgets placed inside giant pies and would have them leap out when guests arrived. I am not lying. Look it up.

I dont think I could limit it to one in particular unless it would be Jesus of Nazereth, next to him everyone else seems small, in comparison, but mom and dad are a unit so I could consider them one. After all they put up with me. ha ha

Eleanor Roosevelt because of the legacy she left after her. A classy woman with a slimy husband.
