Can you name some famous civil rights leaders?

Question

Right now I got (for white people):

1) Mother Theresa

2) Pope John Paul the 3rd

3) Bill Clinton

4) Jesus

5) Moses

however, I am having trouble recalling more. I want to make a video that is a bit like a tribute to people bringing about a better world.

I also have:

Indians:

6) Muhattma Ghandi

Black people:

7) Martin Luther King Jr

8) Malcolm X (In the end he was more like Martin Luther King)

9) Rosa Parks

White woman:

10) Lady Mary Wortley Montagu

Any additions to this list would be great. Whether it be for g*y, woman, race or etc... also some oriental civil rights leaders would be great. I am not aware of any at the moment.

I want to make a sorta tribute to all of them. I thought it would be a nice side project. People that tried to bring about happiness and equality to everyone.

Answer 1

Mother Theresa wasn't white, and in the end, why segregate them at all? Civil rights leaders want coexistence, so to even care what race they were cheapens their legacy.
