Black? Martin Luther King. Gay? Harvey Milk. Female? Susan B. Anthony.
Bald? Uh...
In the cartoon, rendered by one Charles Bartholomew circa 1895, women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony brutalizes president Grover Cleveland because he has thinning hair. This is outrageous. I recall The Elephant Man, in which John Merrick cries, "I am not an animal. I am a human being."
Who will lead us?
