I agree with the guy that said Jimmy Carter. I don't know if he would qualify (because he's dead now), but Charles Kuralt is a big role model of mine. He's relatively "modern" compared to some of my other role models, like Abraham Lincoln. Bill Gates could be a role model for some.

Dr. Ben Carson - World's premier pediatric neuro surgeon. Over 30 honorary degrees Oprah Winfrey - World's premier woman media mogul. Billions in Networth Felipe Adres Coronel aka Immortal Technique - Afro - American & Peruvian Entrepreneur , Political activist & Rapper. Dubbed the King of Underground & political Hip Hop. An extremely well informed , well read artist who is not afraid to speak the truth Neil Degrasse Tyson - Astrophysicist , Director of the New York Museum of Natural history. America's premier public intellectual on matters of science Obama & Family - Even though I don't really agree with his agenda or his policies. His presence as a Black man in the position of the president of America ( the worlds most powerful country ) has changed the perception about Blacks the world over. So in that respect, I like him because people can see that Blacks can do something other than rap or play basketball

Role models are a thing of the past. Because in the past the media turned it's head when good people did bad things. Which made it easier to keep respect for public figures. Current famous people are under a microscope. The negative things they do get more attention then the positive things. Kids are acustom to this though. They say things like, "When I grow up I want to play football like Peyton Manning." Kids used to say, "When I grow up I'm gonna be just like Johnny Unitus."

Yes, Carter is a strong one. Also Stephen Lewis, who has done a lot to focus attention on the need for better prevention and treatment of AIDS in Africa.
