give us a clue?

xL

politics, science, music?

He looks like a religious man: an American statesman who signed the Declaration of Independence, something like that, or an industrial leader? Certainly he was rich, he could afford specs.

It's not Karl Marx... He has no beard.

Nor is it David Beckham or Abraham Lincoln

He does look European or even Jewish? First Generation American ?

In the 17 and 1800's, they didn't have photoshop or airbrushing, so instead they painted very rough (though if paid enough very flattering) portraits...

He looks to me a bit normal, like the guy in the Norman Rockwell picture of the farmer husband.

They all looked the same in those days...(my un-pc joke?

God knows who he is, I don't and we surely cannot name him.
gimme a hint !

there's a new i-phone app wherein you may snap and download a photo and get an answer/response.

I haven't got that.

How about we just instead make up daft names? That'd be funny.

I know he's not Mike Hunt.

nobody has guessed Bay .. can you give the answer and explain why he's one of your heroes ?

BayGBM · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2011, 06:18:08 AM »

The answer is William Lloyd Garrison!

Garrison made a name for himself as one of the most articulate, as well as most radical, opponents of slavery. His approach to emancipation stressed nonviolence and passive resistance, and he attracted a vocal following. While some other abolitionists of the time favored gradual emancipation, Garrison argued for "immediate and complete emancipation of all slaves". On July 4, he publicly burnt a copy of the Constitution condemning it as "pro-slavery".

Garrison and The Liberator were ardently supported by the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, which held meetings, sponsored lectures, and helped to strengthen the female anti-slavery network throughout the Northeast. Garrison was an important contributor to the suffrage movement.

William L. Garrison publicly burned a copy of the Constitution in 1844, declaring it "a Covenant with Death, an Agreement with Hell," referring to the compromise that had written slavery into the Constitution....
