There are many but one that comes to mind is Jimmy Valvano. His tournament was held tonight and they showed his speech at the '93 ESPYs. It brings a tear to my eye everytime I see it.

agree. if you have ever seen Coach Knight's speech(which was funded by the school paper) several days after he was fired from IU, then you know the speech I feel the same way about. I have not cried since I was 10 years old, but I came close that day. Repent

Wow...anyone who fits my definition of a hero (borrowed from Angel)...a hero is a person who sees the world for what it is but lives his/her life as if it were as it should be!
A few names: Dr Martin Luther King Medgar Evers Rosa Parks Harry Truman and of course...Joss Whedon

Well isn't this a neat thread.
Honestly, I have to say my mom. Love her and look up to her. If I turn out to be half the woman she is, then I will be happy.

Charles Darwin.
He has had more effect on the way educated people from every country and background view life on earth than any man I can think of. And he wrote for the layman so that his ideas would be clear, concise, and understood. He layed out his ideas and evidence like a well written law brief. He also pointed out all the weak points in his ideas (which have now been explained). A very humble intellectual that wanted nothing more than to help people see the truth. No evil intentions as some Neaderthals would have one believe, just an incredible view of all life and the mechanism by which populations change. He is the MAN.

The outcome of the story of the cNet tech writer dad (James Kim) who died trying to reach civilization to save his wife and children made me think of this thread... He made it 16 miles in the Oregon mountains.
Very sad.. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...im_x.htm?csp=1
