Nobody to hero

Heroes come in all shapes in sizes.  Heroes arent always predetermined and sometimes come out of nowhere.  An example of a hero that i have would be Jackie Robinson.  There is a movie that comes to theaters soon that talks about this mans life.  He was the first ever african american to play baseball in the major leagues.  I understand that if it wasnt him it would be someone else but at the same time him being the first one and the fact that he went through such harsh times for others who came after him was truly heroic.

Another heroic person would be John Brown.  John Brown was key during times of slavery, he was openly opposed and fought against it and for the freedom of slaves.  His name is not one many people know and there were a lot of people who fought against slavery but that doesnt make him any less of a hero.
