    MLK, Nelson Mandela, Helen of Troy, the American revolution, the IRA, the entire history of Europe, the suffragettes, stonewall, Rosa parks, countless hunger strikers in prison, conscientious objectors throughout recorded history, Malcolm x, anyone persecuted under Jim crow, Rosa Luxembourg, Nadia Rumad. Off the top of my head.

    You really asked if there are people from successful political movements who have been killed, had people make an attempt on their life, or were put in prison.

      MLK Jr died in 1968, long after the civil rights act was signed into law.

      George Washington did not die in the Revolution, idk where you heard that.

      Helena as in the daughter of Zues? Okay pal.

      The “suffragettes” generally refers to the WSPU which failed and disbanded in 1914 several years before some few women were allowed to vote in 1918 due to the efforts of different groups and more broadly in 1928.

      How the fuck do you claim the entire IRA died but also accomplished a successful revolution?

      The entirety of Europe? You think the entirety of Europe is currently dead?!
