Goodness - there are so many. I admire my mother, Ghandi, Paul Robeson, W.E.B. Du Bois, Malcolm X (post Hajj), Oprah, Angela Davis, my 2nd, 5th and 7th grade teachers . . and this sounds crazy but when I was a lasse, my heroes were Michael Jordan and Jean Luc Picard - yes, from the Starship Enterprise. Yes, I know.. I'm ashamed to say.. but I was a Trekkie to the core.
