Do you people realize that Abraham Lincoln never cared about freeing the slaves?
I would say that the greatest American is one who risks his/her life to give us the freedoms that we take for granted on a daily basis. I also have a lot of respect for guys like Malcolm X who were willing to sacrifice themselves to advance their cause. Who hear has read his "Ballot Or The Bullet" speech? It's too bad that he was a racist for most of his life and that no one really remembers the end of his life when he renounced his racist past.
