There are many who will never receive due recognitio
n but their contributi
on should never go unacknowle
dged. Single mothers in particular (parents in general) who slave to keep their familys' heads above water with almost no resources, committed environmen
talists who fight lonelly battles against immorally rich corporates
, community members who slave to ensure remaining playground
s are not taken away from their children, teachers and educators of whatever descriptio
n in the world's slummiest areas, etc.
One thing I didn't like about Sirleaf-Jo
hnson was her campaign mockery of fellow candidate, George Opong Weah's educationa
l achievemen
ts (in this case, lack thereof). I cannot discount her developmen
tal track record but thought such antics juvenile. Weah is a man of limited learning, who made his name playing soccer abroad, and who used his considerab
le financial clout to kit his national team and sponsor them through lots of sporting tribulatio
ns.
A good list, representa
tive, neverthele
ss. The true heroes live amongst us, and their unexposed achievemen
ts don't make them any less of mortals. They are right up there in the Olympian pantheon of gods.
