Definitely Sojourner Truth (this icon is left over from the 2008 campaign).
I suspect the faces of the nineteenth and early twentieth century people are less likely to be familiar than those of more recent activists. When I think of what Gandhi looked like, I think of the various statues of him that I've seen, and that doesn't bring a face to mind.
Eugene Debs comes to my mind as a good example, but depending on your purposes, it might be a disadvantage that Debs spent time in prison for opposing U.S. involvement in World War I.
