Ali should make the list. Huey Long should be higher. I didn't see D.W. Griffith, but I was skimming. Ellington instead of Armstrong, maybe. And Nixon should be higher than LBJ. List is good, for the most part, but tilted toward "popular" choices of people who we like. Equally, if not more interesting would be list of top 100 americans that most americans don't know.
