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

Without this man it is likely that Russia would have been defeated by the Germans in WW2 he is responsible for turning the battle of Stalingrad around and creating the tipping point in which the Germans were now on the defensive. 4. He surprised the Germans in Stalingrad by using storm cover, during a blizzard the red army units under his command snuck up on the unsuspecting german's and attacked them allowing an encirclement to occur. This encirclement would eventually cost Germany the battle.
