We all have people we look up to; sports figures, musicians, grandparents, etc, but what is it that makes these people important to us?
In 1999 Time Magazine got together a bunch of different people (historians, newspaper writers, College Professors, etc.) and asked them to come up with a list of who they think the most important people of the 20th Century were.
