Do you think if Shakespeare, Dickens, Tolstoy Dostoyevesky, or James Joyce began their careers in the 21st century they would have any chance at the same level of prestige?

Just been thinking about this a lot. It seems like the reason they are all so prestigious is in large part due to the legends that were able to develop over time about them.

We live in such a documented age, will anyone in this era be remembered with the greats in 500 years? Would these 5 people have a chance at the legacy they left behind if they started today?

"You think your pain & heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was Dostoevsky and Dickens who taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who ever had been alive."

5-candidate short list for GA-O5: Park Cannon, Andre Dickens, Robert Franklin, Nikema Williams, James "Major" Woodall

From the AJC:

State Sen. Nikema Williams is the chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Georgia who represents an Atlanta-based stretch of Lewis’ congressional district in the state Legislature. A veteran activist, the 41-year-old has deep ties with the district and support from key party leaders. Her husband was a top aide to Lewis.

Atlanta City Councilman Andre Dickens is seen as a rising Democratic leader. First elected in 2013, the business executive has carved a progressive agenda in City Hall, including legislation that implements a $15 hourly minimum wage in the city and initiatives promoting more affordable housing.

State Rep. Park Cannon is one of the youngest members of the Georgia Legislature and a member of the party’s progressive wing. First elected in 2016, Cannon is one of several LGBTQ state lawmakers and has pushed for measures promoting more equitable criminal justice initiatives at the Capitol.

Robert Franklin is the former president of Morehouse College who now serves as the historic institution’s emeritus president. He led the school from 2007-2012, a period of growth that included the expansion of the school’s campus and endowment. He’s the author of four books.

The Rev. James β€œMajor” Woodall is president of the Georgia NAACP and a veteran of the U.S. Army Reserve, where he served as an intelligence analyst. A former candidate for the Georgia House in 2016, he served on the state committee of the Democratic Party of Georgia.

##Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Jazza Dickens

Round 1

Rigondeaux with a little range finder. Dickens bigger, looking down at Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux feints with the lead hand and Dickens backs up. Rigondeaux misses a left uppercut. He ducks under a few jabs. Dickens looking to get knocked out by Rigondeaux’s left as he is staring at the right. Rigondeaux realizes that and tries a big left. Another one. Both miss, but the second was closer to the mark. A big right and left from Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux jabs. Dickens tries a right hook and Rigondeaux disappears. Dickens slaps with the right hand. Jab and a left that misses from Rigondeaux.

##Rigondeaux 10-9

Round 2

Rigondeaux with a big loaded up left hand. That was beautifully surgical. Dickens just misses two huge hooks, another one misses. Dickens thinks these are great shots when he lets them go but Rigondeaux is living in the matrix and nowhere near getting hit. Very quiet. Dickens has basically been figured out and he doesn’t want to throw anymore. Rigondeaux has made him pay enough.

##Rigondeaux 10-9, 20-18

Round 3

This fight is being stopped. That left hand Rigondeaux landed at the beginning of the second possibly broke Dickens's jaw and they're calling this one off.

##Official Ruling: Guillermo Rigondeaux by TKO3

An urban myth states that this gravestone in St James' Gardens was the inspiration for Oliver Twist's name. But on inspection, it's easy to see that this poor lad died 25 years after Dickens first published his novel
