I’m stuck. The “sorta kinda” and “in a way” clues don’t help. 16: Does that mean he held political office? Was he politically influential but not an office holder? Was he related to a politician? 17: Did he not actually participate in the protest movement? Was he used as an icon or symbol? 19: Does “looks like” mean he wasn’t actually the author? Was he ghost written? ---

The naturalized American clue may be offputting. This guy may well be thought of as an American, without most people realizing he was, oh, say, Canadian at birth. Anyway, shot-in-the-dark time: DQ: Are you Buffalo Bill Cody? ---

Another well played game, but I don’t think his notoriety made it across the pond. Never heard of him myself but I suspect the Prof. may have. ---
