Curtis Sliwa

Curtis Sliwa is a polarizing figure, and I find that polarization itself revealing. Founding the Guardian Angels in gritty late-1970s New York took real physical courage—patrolling subways when the city felt ungovernable—and decades later he is still in the arena as a radio host and political candidate. I do not agree with every position he has taken, and critics question his showmanship, but the through-line is consistent: a Brooklyn-bred conviction that ordinary citizens should act rather than complain. Whether you see a crusader or a self-promoter, he has never sat on the sidelines, and that persistence earns my respect.
