An exceptionally courageous man; with great faith in his God and belief in the concepts of equality and justice for all peoples.

That man's a hero and I want to hear a lot more about him, so Nick, CV, have you got any more for me to read. This world needs more people like Wade Watts.

What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.

Wade Watts certainly was a brave man. He was a friend of Martin Luther King and had been campaigning for civil rights since the 1940s

Johnny Lee Clary, the Klan leader who once harrassed Watts, later renounced his racist views and befriended the preacher. He was won over by Watts' Gandhi-like nonviolence and Christ-like love for his enemies: http://www.johnnyleeclary.com/files/page.php?p=87

Wade had been fighting injustice since his childhood. As a boy, a friend's mother refused to let him into the kitchen and gave him his dinner on the porch in a dog's bowl

One of the things I really hate, Nick, is when one human being treats another human being badly, and that is a really awful example. Shame on that person.
