Haymitch Abernathy = Ralph Abernathy
Ralph Abernathy was a U.S clergyman and civil-rights leader. This relates to Haymitch because when Peeta and Katniss were in the games he kept them safe. He was making sure that they had as good as a chance to win as the other districts. He made sure they had rights in the games just like a civil- rights leader would. Haymitch made the playing ground equal for his District 12's tributes. A civil-rights leader would do the same. Make sure everyone had equal rights.
