      I’d say Angela Davis is pretty well known. She was part of the reason why the FBI made COININTELPRO.

      You should read up on her. She’s had a wild life.

      Dr. Wolff is a highly respected marxian economist, he also is the president of Democracy@Work where he makes videos giving economic analysis of global trends.

      Angela Davis is an activist that fought for civil rights and black liberation. She was a political prisoner for a time due to COINTELPRO. She’s a professor now and still does work, but after so many friends getting killed she’s ready to cede her position to the next generation of black activists.

      Dolores Huerta is my personal favorite. She helped found the union United Farm Workers with Ceasar Chavez, organizes for the rights of immigrant farm workers, and pushes for voter enfranchisement in marginalized communities. She led the boycott aspect of the 60s Delano Grape Strike.
