not to be cliche, but Martin Luther King Jr.

As far as an inventor-type person, by far Nikola Tesla. He's the most underrated inventor in history as far as I'm concerned, and 1000x more important than Edison when it comes to electricity. If people had listened to him more we would have advanced much faster in electrical technology and safety.

As for the Lincoln debate, he was a great man and president, yes. I do agree with this. He learned over time to control his temper in a manner very few do. However, he was not the great president the myth makes him out to be. One must keep in mind that due to the circumstances of the civil war he pretty much had carte blanche to do whatever he wanted with the government.
