RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - 9th AMISTAD AWARDEE, CCSU

Brother Bangura:

two questions and a comment.

Recently someone on this listserve noted that no African scientist has ever been awarded the Nobel prize. Someone went so far as to comment that literature was not a valuable human endeavor, hence the Nobel prize in literature does not really count.. ..

Now I need your advice,,since I presume you have an awareness of the Swedish Weltanshauung.

We would like to submit the name of Dr. George Acquaah for a Nobel prize in biochemistry. He has published at least eight books/monographs in that field and has received international accolades. We just don't know how to go about the process of nomination, if such a process exists at all.. .. .

We would also like to submit the name of Abdul Karim Bangura. It is just that we don,t know in whiich of his many fields of expertise does he have the best chance, and which of these fields comes closest to one actually recognized by the Swedish Academy.

Peace, Mario.

Mwalimu Bangura,
I have not met you in person, but I have read a lot of your wonderful scholarly works. As a true Africanist, you deserve many more of these awards. We are proud of your achievements. Congratulations!
