No one said he was. And if I recall....even Nobel Prize winners can be questionable.
But he was a guy that inspired a lot of people that where you come from doesn't matter if you're willing to put in the work. There were tons of kids in his era from the same streets that saw him break from the "mold"....and maybe that inspired hope in them.
It's just a shame that his actions later in life pretty much screwed all that up.
