Selected Heroes

Below are my chosen Heroes of peace. I discovered the Heroes' Value System by researching these remarkable people over a 10-year period while teaching classes in leadership and values at Hiram College in Ohio. Some of these heroes were destitute themselves and often lived in ghettoes without electricity and or water. Some were born slaves while others were more fortunate, but all have dedicated their lives to the betterment of humanity.

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, beliefs, 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 to show a variety of approaches for rescuing others. Which approach will you employ? Roger F. Cram
