Any one know about Charles Stewart Mott?

I really don't understand why he is important. Yes he has schools named after him and found a foundation but I don't understand why he is important. Who is he? if u can explain, I'd be grateful.

thanks!

    Get ye to the cemetery for a hint of this rather amazing dude::

    ""Charles Stewart Mott was an industrialist and philanthropist. He was an automotive pioneer who founded the Weston-Mott company which built a factory in Flint, Michigan which supplied axles for Buick automobiles at the adjacent Buick assembly plant. His company was sold to General Motors and he served as a General Motors director for the rest of his life. He established the C.S. Mott Foundation in 1926 because of a deep concern about the welfare of his adopted community of Flint. Mr. Mott served three terms as mayor of Flint, Michigan (1912-13, 1918). (bio by: Gary Flinn)""

    Pretty much he was generous and successful enough to fund his many hobbies which centered upon educating kids. He is the sort of person that is hated by the Tea Party Republicans.
