1. Martin Luther King Jnr – America. His life is well documented in your textbook.

2. Trevor Huddleston – South Africa. His life is well documented in your textbook.

3. Nelson Mandela – South Africa. Not a good choice. His direct links with Christianity are not easy to see. He may be a Christian, but were his motives Christian?

4. Mother Teresa – India. Good choice but do you have enough facts about her life? Her main work was to help the dying. I am not sure her motive was to overcome prejudice.

5. Desmond Tutu – South Africa. Do you have good facts about his life? He could be said to be at work in order to overcome prejudice, but again I am not sure this was ever his main work.

I would go for 1. or 2.
