We have all heard of exemplary people who seem almost superhuman in not only their passion for a a prticular purpose, but also their perseverance in accomplishing their goal - a cause they feel so strongly about that they will let no obstacle stand in their way. Our history is filled with many inspiring examples: Martin Luther King, who sacrificed his life for the cause of racial equality, Nelson Mandela, who despite his years of unjust incarceration went on to spread his message of peace and tolerance to the world, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who campaigned for women’s equality and the right to vote. This piece is a tribute to those fiery hearts who have left a legacy of a better life for us today.
