- Ernest Shackleton: I am working under the "Legacy" section, under the "Later" subpoint. I want to add it where they are talking about his leadership skills and lessons learned from him.

In 2001 Margaret Morrell and Stephanie Capparell presented Shackleton as a model for corporate leadership in their book Shackleton's Way: Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer. They wrote: "Shackleton resonates with executives in today's business world. His people-centered approach to leadership can be a guide to anyone in a position of authority".[150] Other management writers were soon following this lead, using Shackleton as an exemplar for bringing order from chaos.

In 2017 Nancy Koehn gave us a new perspective of Shackleton's leadership skills during a time of crisis in her book titled Forged In Crisis: The Making of Five Courageous Leaders. Koehn picks up on one of the most profound characteristics of Shackleton in stating, "Perhaps the most powerful view of this leader's unmistakable humanity is that in the face of the mistakes he made in rushing south in 1914, of ongoing financial problems, and of the narcissistic quest for fame that drove him to Antarctica the first three times—in the face of these and other faults—he proved capable, indeed, he made himself capable, of doing an extraordinary thing."

- Abraham Lincoln: I am working under the legacy section. I want to switch the words freedom and equality, to equality and freedom because the Declaration of Independence opens up talking about equality for all men before he talks about freedom from the King.

The Declaration's emphasis on freedom and equality for all, in contrast to the Constitution's tolerance of slavery, shifted the debate.

- Frederick Douglass: I am working under the Redefining his ideology section, and going in chronological order, this fits between paragraphs two and three.

Douglass called for court action to open all schools to all children. He said that full inclusion within the educational system was a more pressing need for African Americans than political issues such as suffrage.

'''Douglass continued to grow in fame and stature, giving lectures around the northern states. On one occasion he specifically attacked the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas Nebraska Act in a speech given at Rochester College in Chicago on October 30, 1854. Here he stated, "The only intelligible principle on which popular sovereignty is founded, is found in the Declaration of American Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”” Later going on to say, “The right of each man to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, is the basis of all social and political right, and, therefore, how brass-fronted and shameless is that impudence, which while it aims to rob men of their liberty, and to deprive them of the right to the pursuit of happiness—screams itself hoarse to the words of popular sovereignty."'''

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer: I am working under the imprisonment section, second paragraph, where it talks about Bonhoeffer's letters and last bit of time in prison.

There he continued his work in religious outreach among his fellow prisoners and guards. Sympathetic guards helped smuggle his letters out of prison to Eberhard Bethge and others, and these uncensored letters were posthumously published in Letters and Papers from Prison.

'''Bonhoeffer also wrote frequent letters to his fiancee Maria. In the last letter he sent to her, he included a poem addressed to his family, "By kindly powers so wondrously protected we wait with confidence, befall what may. We are with God at night and in the morning, and, just as certainly, on each new day." Bonhoeffer did not fear death but had complete confidence in the God whose work would transcend his death. '''

- Rachel Carson: I am working under the Silent Spring section, and changing some of the words in this sentence to make it clearer.

Carson was not the first or the only person to raise concerns about DDT,[32] but her combination of "scientific knowledge and poetic writing" reached a broad audience and helped to focus opposition to DDT use.[33]
