Below are the Heroes of peace I researched and discovered the Heroes' Value System. Some of these heroes are almost destitute themselves and often live in ghettoes without electricity and or water. Others are more fortunate, but all have dedicated their lives to the betterment of humanity.            

19-females, 32-males, 9-children, 11-statespersons, 3-scientists, 2-born into slavery, 18-born into poverty, 10-Nobel Peace Prize winners, 15-went to jail for their cause = 51 fighters for peace and human dignity from 24 different countries.

Click here to learn what very special characteristics and values these
leaders of peace used when they were performing at their very best.

Note: I selected heroes that fit my criteria of solving problems peacefully. I tried to choose heroes from a cross section of cultures, believes, nationalities, economic status, ages, and ethnicities to demonstrate that these values are universal when magnificent people are performing at their best and relentlessly perusing peace. I selected heroes that used different techniques for serving humanity in order to over a wide variety of approaches to my readers. And, I know, there are thousands of other heroes who qualify for this list, but I had to stop somewhere or the material would be endless.  Roger F. Cram
