100 American Heroes

[Rev. Powell]

80: Sergeant Rob O'Neill: the man who shot Osama Bin Laden.
81. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who exposed Watergate.

Those guys are still alive, Trev. This is about dead people.

Yep. They have to be dead. There have been some controversies even over dead folks, lol.

80 I think?

Cesar Chavez

He was an American labor leader, community organizer, businessman, and Latino American civil rights activist. Along with Dolores Huerta, he co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), which later merged with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) to become the United Farm Workers (UFW) labor union.
