Okay, the quiz isn't done yet. Should I have descriptions for hints or should I leave it as is with short titles? If I decide to go with the short titles, I would like to come up with better ones. So, if you want, please leave some comments on how to improve the quiz.

I can't stand Noam Chomsky, but how is he not on this list?

No quiz on influential progressives is complete without Robert Lafollette and Hiram Johnson. For that matter where is Teddy Roosevelt?

You might want to make it clear in the intro that this is US-specific.

Thurgood Marshall was a noted layer, but I don't know what that has to do with his politics.

@Glorfino, I have added minister to Jesse Jackson's "famous for" entry. @polixenes, I have fixed the problem regarding Ali. @JayZed, should I add a note at the beggining of the game? @DonnyB, fixed!

@sobdennis, my guess as to why Teddy R. was not included was because of his imperialist foreign policy.

The Nation magazine will probably not recognize anybody with any conservative bent (such as TR) as being a "progressive" despite what Roosevelt did with conservation and developing national parks.

This might be more fun if the hints had something to do with the fields they were progressive in or something they achieved.
