Now that the whole of the 20th century is history, let me propound a
question for discussion on Va-Hist:

Who was the greatest or most important Virginian of the 20th century?

Greatness and imporance are not the same (Hitler, because of what he did
and its consequences, might have been the most important person of the
20th century, but he wasn't the greatest), so please give your reasoning
for our considerations and discussions.

Let's hold questions about great and/or important Virginians of other
centuries for the ensuing weeks.
