Morocco's population is about 90% Berbers (or Imazighen, meaning free men). My (least?) favorite Berber so far in my studies is Saint Augustine. Augustine was from Algeria, Morocco's neighbor to the East. I'm not sure that I agree with all of Augustine's philosophies (& I've only even read The Confessions of) but the dude was an important figure for modern thought and has had a huge impact on our society even 1,610 years later.
