Original – Willa Beatrice Player, an American educator, college administrator, college president, civil rights activist, and federal appointee, at the start of her career in 1930.
Reason
It's a little undersized, but I think it has pretty much all the actual detail, and it's about like, 585dpi or so, which really isn't bad. A bit zoomed in, but that does help justify the size: Her face probably occupies more pixels than a lot of images we've promoted that technically have much larger dimensions. Undeniably the best available photo of her.

Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political if we're classifying her as a civil rights activist - which she was, but she did so as an educator, which might make it better to classify her as an educator, hence Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Others.
