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
