Great people

Intent of this post is to list a few of maybe not so well known great human beings  (work in progress). Respect:

Rosalind Franklin: should have been one of the novel prize winners for the discovery of DNA. 

Jonas Salk, discover of many vaccines, but very few now him because he credited his team.

James Heselden - Segway and Hesco Owner
"There are people out there who are making money, and when times are good I honestly believe people have a moral obligation to use their wealth to help others," Heselden told the Yorkshire Post earlier this year. "Life turned out pretty well for me, but I still work in the same area where I grew up, and everyday I see people who for whatever reason are down on their luck."

Usman Koroma, wanted to adopt a child who had just lost her mom to Ebola. 

Chinese doctor, Li Wenliang, who was reprimanded by police after warning colleagues about a new respiratory disease emerging in Wuhan, and finally died after falling ill. 

Aaron Feuerstein, from Malden Mills. Keep their employees after the factory burnt down and many competitors were moving overseas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malden_Mills

Peter Norman, Awesome human and Australian athlete.

Yevdokia Dashina: hippo care taker

Josep Maria Bertran de Quintana. Judge on the Republican side (one of the Spanish sides during the Civil War) that prosecuted indiscriminated killings of civilians on the Republican controlled regions, against the establishment and social winds (hurricanes) in those regions.
