Most of my heroes have one peculiar thing in common: they all broke with their own people/government to uphold principles. While there were several people I would hold up as heroes in the past, I never knew about this common thread until I read the line in Harry Potter about how its easier to stand up to one's enemies than to one's friends. Then it hit me....that is how I had been choosing my heroes! And for this, and so many other important philosophical points in her books, J.K Rowling is one of my heroes.
That said, this thread is to list real life heroes, especially those who are not commonly recognized, but should be.
