1.Mahatma Gandhi 2.Che Guevara 3.Benjamin Franklin 4.Thomas Jefferson 5.Simon Bolivar 6.Theodore Roosevelt 7.Franklin Roosevelt 8.Joan of Arc 9.Jello Biafra 10.Julius Nyerere 11.Nelson Mandela 12.Michael Collins (Irish Freedom Fighter) 13.Martin Luther King 14.Olof Palme 15.Pierre Trudeau 16.Tommy Douglas 17.Paul Wellstone 18.Bobby Kennedy 19.Raoul Wallenberg 20.Augusto Sandino 21.Willi Brandt 22.William Wallace 23.James Connolly 24.Hugo Chavez 25.José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero

I also had to place William Wallace as well. I should also have placed Patrick Pearse and James Connolly as well! Great men in their own right!

of my head:
Mohandas Gandhi Martin Luther King, Jr. Eleanor Roosevelt Howard Zinn Phillip Berrigan Daniel Berrigan Fr. John Dear Jesus Mohammed Buddha Nelson Mandela Oscar Romero The Dahli Lama
And all the people who put their lives and livelihoods on that line to work for peace and justice in the world without getting recognition.
