others that come to mind - leaders of countries, religious movements, social movements. i admire the (sometimes) unthanked leaders of social movements the most - leslie feinberg, winona laduke, del martin & phyllis lyon, medea benjamin, granny d., sylvia rivera, gandhi, dr. king, niam ateek, the fellow who stood in front of the tanks at tiannamen square (if only i can show that kind of courage in the face of that kind of fire power), jesus christ… i could go on and on and on about those leaders and the impacts they have made in my life and the undocumented impacts their presence in the world has made on people all over the world (except for christ, of course, his impact is known world wide).
