César Chávez (there's a moving coming out soon!

), Harvey Milk, Crazy Horse (and many other tribal heroes), pretty sure there are a BUNCH of folks that will emerge from all of this Arab Spring democratization.

on Mandela, for sure.

Mother Teresa

Mother Theresa actively let people under her care starve, she considered it a form of penance, she had the connections to get those people/villages food but thought their pain and slow miserable death would purify them for the hereafter. So there's that.
