Well, if you want a civil rights leader there's Martin Luther King Jr. But, if you're wanting a really interesting project, you can do your report on German Dictator, Adolf Hitler. That's just two of the thousands of possibilities.

Yes, there are and, historically, there have been.  Ghandi is a good example as is Nelson Mandela.  While they weren't kings, they were important leaders.  Farther back, one can find monarchs who appear to have cared.  Sadly, we cannot really gauge that caring by our standards of behavior as time change.\n\nRight now, I would be hard pressed to find any leader who cares as much as they claim to.  Three examples of men who came into power on a foundation of caring about their country and people are obvious.  Hitler said he would free Germany of financial oppression and look what happened when he, instead, implemented his own plan of power.   Castro was able to gain power based on a promise of freeing Cuba of the influence of Batista and US corporations and politics.  He has since isolated Cuba in a way many find undesirable.  The third example is currently open to debate.  GW Bush claims to care about his country and people and, while we can say he is protecting the USA (ostensibly), he has eroded the individual freedoms which many claim a truly loyal-to-his-constituency would never do.

hi, here is a pretty good biography from a nigerian paper:\nhttp://www.independentng.com/sunday/swjan290601.htm\n\nwikipedia has a decent article:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Johnson-Sirleaf\n\nand here is another good article:\nhttp://www.worldpress.org/Africa/2222.cfm\n\ncheers!\nalso i'd like to add that i think it's great that a nation in africa has elected a female head of state.  particularly one with her qualifications.  and even more so given that it's such a remarkable turnaround from that thieving despot, charles taylor.  yay liberia!

There could/would be as many different answers as there are people. One person who is important to me could not even be known of by others. Plus you have to take into consideration culture and when and where and how a person lived and who was influential at that time, etc.

Go to your school and your local library. He's a pretty important person, so they should definitely have good books on him. Also, you can go to Wikipedia and check out the bibliography and other sources given on that site. Some of the books listed there are fairly recent, so you should be able to get them easily.
