Biography Gandhi Book

Question: I have to do a report on someone influential who was not a U.S. citizen..any suggestions?
I have to write a report for my Honors World History class about an influential person in history who was not a U.S. citizen. I have to read a biography (at least 200 pages) and write a 4-page essay about the person. It can be anyone from an actor to a president, as long as they did something interesting enough to write 4 pages about. They have to have been born sometime between 1745 and 1960.
I don't want to do someone "cliche" (Hitler, Gandhi, etc.) that everyone else in my class will probably do. I'm just not really sure where to start looking to find someone that I want to read about so any suggestions you have would be great!
I'm somewhat interested in doing Barack Obama Sr. but I'm not sure if he ever gained citizenship in the United States. I also can't find any books about him besides Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama Jr., so if anyone knows of another biography that would be great! I would also appreciate other suggestions of people to research. Thank you!!!
Answer: How about a scientist eg Alexander Fleming - penicillin, Crick DNA (with US citizen Watson), Darwin - evolution, Tim Berners Lee inventor of www.
Alternatively Karl Marx or Lenin would get traditional History teachers going!
