History as a succession of events is at most only half-history. The rest is all about the people behind the events. The English essayist and historian Thomas Carlyle understood this writing back in 1840. „For, as I take it,“ he declared,“ …History …is at bottom the Hisotry of the Great Men who have worked here.“

Ralph David Abernathy (* 11. März 1926 in Linden, Alabama; † 17. April 1990 in Atlanta, Georgia) war ein US-amerikanischer Bürgerrechtler sowie baptistischer Geistlicher. Ab 1955 nahm er, bald als enger Freund von Martin Luther King, jr., an der Bürgerrechtsbewegung zur Gleichberechtigung von Afroamerikanern (Civil rights movement) teil.

Von 1968 bis 1977 war er Präsident der Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Seit 1971 arbeitete er in der Christlichen Friedenskonferenz (CFK) mit.
