I believe this is our first vote for a male Roosevelt.
And I guess that’s the way they stand.
Right you are. Hughes through Truman are now gone. (Sorry to see ol’ “Give 'Em Hell” Harry cut, but so it goes). That leaves us with:
Susan B. Anthony: Suffrage activist
George Washington Carver: Agricultural botanist
Frederick Douglass: Abolitionist, orator
Thomas Edison: Inventor, workaholic
Dwight D. Eisenhower: President, war hero
John Franklin Enders: Modern vaccines pioneer
Benjamin Franklin: Scientist, statesman, inventor
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.: Supreme Court Justice
Martin Luther King Jr.: Preacher, orator, humanitarian
Abraham Lincoln: President, emancipator, writer
James Madison: President, Framer, statesman
George Marshall: General, diplomat, statesman
John Marshall: Fourth Chief Justice
Thomas Paine: Political theorist, pamphleteer
Jackie Robinson: Athlete, activist, inspiration
Franklin D. Roosevelt: President, reformer, statesman
Theodore Roosevelt: President, conservationist, statesman
Jonas Salk: Polio vaccine inventor
Henry David Thoreau: Poet, naturalist, philosopher
Harriet Tubman: Civil rights advocate
Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens): Humorist, “Huckleberry Finn”
Earl Warren: Chief Justice, governor
George Washington: President, general, statesman
Daniel Webster: Orator, advocate, statesman
Walt Whitman: Civil War poet
Roger Williams: Statesman, religious leader
Orville and Wilbur Wright: Aviation pioneers, inventors
Still five votes each, and no more than one against any individual. The next round will conclude at noon EST on Weds. March 3.
Bye bye bye:
Dwight D Eisenhower
George Marshall
Henry David Thoreau
Earl Warren
Walt Whitman
