Unappreciated Historical Figures!

Here is the thread dedicated to all those dead people out there who you feel should get more attention than they do/did (family included). Here's how we put them on the spotlight: 1)Name/Picture 2)Date of Birth/Death (if unknown guestimate) 3)Why you feel they should be remembered. 4)FUN FACTS! I'll go first; 1)George Williams 2)October 11, 1821 – November 6, 1905 3)This fine gentleman saw the amount of disgraceful actions that young men were committing during Industrial Era London, so he and a group of 11 friends formed the very first YMCA in 1844. Ever since the YMCA (or as it is now known as "the Y") has been a hallmark for community service and reaching out to those in need. NO ITS NOT JUST A GYM. 4)He was actually a very rude mofo in his youth, then later became a devout Christian. Edit: I'm trying to bring attention to those fine gentlemen or woman who are very obscure in the history books. No points are deducted of course for bringing up a past president, but try to show us the people who did something cool, yet are neglected by major curriculums
