Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of the main figures in the Civil Rights Movement. He was born in 1929 and eventually led and influenced millions through his non-violent protest against segregation and racial discrimination. King was assassinated in 1968.

I think Franklin D. Roosevelt is most important because he helped win the war and was an amazing president. He has helped America out of the Great Depression.
