Hey JayDee, I should clarify. I absolutely wasn’t trying to call Mandela (nor any of the others I mentioned) a figurehead. They were most certainly more than that, as I indicated later in the paragraph.
I was simply attempting to ponder if the MEDIA requires some specific individual to act as the face of a movement for the rest of the “Hero’s Journey” to play out? No face of the movement, no ratings/hits, etc.
