Keir Hardy - the founder of the British Labour Party and first elected socialist and working class unionist M.P of Britain.

Malcolm X - but it’s more of a case of education denied

Abraham Lincoln was self educated and of course, how can one forget Shakespeare.

There are more names and these are all I can think for of at the moment. I’m sure more will follow soon.

I recently read that Mao Zedong of china has little formal education.

But when I google, I found that he was a teacher and served as librarian as well. Wiki’s article got coincidence to some extent what I read in a book.

Aged 8, Mao was sent to Shaoshan Primary School. Learning the value systems of Confucianism, he later admitted that he didn’t enjoy the classical Chinese texts preaching Confucian morals, instead favouring popular novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin
