Tanzanian and Its Heroes:What Kind of a Nation is it?

Food for thoughts: How would you describe Tanzania as it relates to "heroes"... 1. "A nation without Heroes" 2. "A Nation with Forgotten Heroes" 3. "A Nation with Unsung Heroes" 4. "A Nation in Need of Heroes" or a 5. "A Nation with Many Heroes". I would like to write a short essay on the topic of heroes... MMM
