It is encouraging to see citizens claiming the 21st century by naming and commemorating real timeless heroes in the human story.

It is hard to imagine such a hero like this ever having to sadly be realized as in his day being bigoted, discriminatory, or racist in his humane heroism.
Such negative aspects of heroism nearly had to be the case with many former acknowledged American heroes. For humanity itself , as a whole, had not moved but slightly beyond extreme tribalism, sexism, patriarchy and racism. It is a matter of evolution.
Many of the more recently selected heroes encouragingly show us there has been some healthy collective human development going on in the past century. Where recognized heroes are more likely persons and groups serving the good of all of humanity and even the Earth itself, not just their own brand or group.
