If Alyssa can say Marion Barry, can I say Franklin from Arrested Development? In all seriousness though, Angela Davis is pretty sweet.

I would say Isaac Hayes if he weren't a weirdo Scientologist. So, instead, we'll go with Frederick Douglass.

Or Barry White.

Crap, I was going to say Rosa Parks. Well, I'll stay with her.

Also, Dr. Dorothy Height.
