i was going to say MacGyver... but
it seems that this isnt in Tilted Nonsense..
so im going to have to say that the greatest American in my mind would have to be Martin Luther King Jnr.
He was well respected and liked during and after his time.
History looks at some as despots, others as saviors, some as saints, but to me, MLK is a legend.
Malcolm X may be my favourite civil rights leader because of his tough stance and nature and his ability to criticize himself and go through personal growth in the meantime, but i wont let my prejudices get in the way to say that MLK was a much more liked and character and was accepted by much of the United States.
His groundbreaking thoughts have been unparalleled and his legacy lives to this day. If the means test for Americas Greatest Hero is Bravery, Charisma, and Acceptance during and after their time, then who can stand in the way of Martin Luther King Jnr?
