What does it mean to be a Great American? MLK Jr. and Abraham Lincoln were both great men that led people to a better society through replacing injustice with a vision of equality that resonated with people. Because of this, these men have their own memorial in D.C.. Is it time to add a new memorial to go along with these leaders? Tecumseh was a Shawnee chief who led a large tribal resistance to settlers. He led men towards a goal that he believed was just and told them they were fighting for a good cause, but was it true? Does he deserve to join the other men in D.C.? The answer to both is no. Although he led men and fought for them, that does not earn him memorial status. MLK Jr. and Lincoln were both men who were familiar with seeking justice.
