They can be here too. I didn’t specify. Though my initial thought was it being about the person who did something that you wouldn’t have imagined before hearing about it. As in the Clark Gable example.

Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama prior to the more famous Rosa Parks doing it. The NAACP, however, decided to not use her as a figurehead because she became pregnant while still unmarried. The more respectable Mrs Parks was chosen instead.

It’s never too young to learn why Rosa Parks became the face of the NAACP and is now in the history books while Claudette Colvin remains a footnote.
