William Wilberforce

Publicly committed, after his first major legislative defeat, to continue 'till we have wiped away this scandal'; reintroduced the same anti-slave-trade legislation in nearly every parliamentary session for roughly two decades until partial victory, then campaigned for full abolition for a further 26 years.

Founded, funded, or led over sixty distinct philanthropic and reform organizations across his lifetime, working with governments of either political persuasion depending on the issue rather than aligning with a single party.

Sustained a demanding double life of full parliamentary and campaign work plus a four-year personal writing project despite chronic, painful illness.

Continued his public campaign despite direct threats to his physical safety and sustained pressure -- including real strain with his closest political friend -- to abandon the cause.
