Jim Henson (here's hoping he makes it high on the list!)
Walt Disney
Rosa Parks
Ruby Bridges
Abraham Lincolin

John Lennon may be from Liverpool but he also may have become a citizen, I don't know if he did or not. Arnold Schwarnzenegger is a citizen and he's from Austria.

Fav american

My favorite person would have to be Michael Moore because he is a regular,truthful guy.

Your both right,my bad.To me,it should be The Greatest Person,not just The Greatest American,just my opinion.Others outside of America have made great contributions,obviously,to our history.

I agree. I know he went through the process of getting a green card but I don't know if he ever applied for citizenship. As far as the Greatest Person, we can talk about that here, too. I just wanted to point out the vote.

Greatest People:
Mother Theresa
Mahatma Ghandi
Jesus of Nazareth
Winston Churchill
Queen Elizabeth
etc., etc., etc.

Those are just obvious choices. Who do you say?

I voted for Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Jim Henson, Mark Twain and... I forget who the other one was I voted for. But there have been an awful lot of great Americans.

John never became an official citizen. He was given residency; but he was never an official American. Woo, brits!!
