December :41 Host: cache-frr-aa08.proxy.aol.com This is an evidence of the uncomparable long-rooted african might in humility and perseverance, besides, this is a knock-out to the racist notion that africans are not for maths/sciencebased human endeavours. The truth is: Every human if given the

11 right background and encouragement, heaven is the limit to which he or she could aspire and rise. It does not matter if you are black or white, the best assurance for the progress of any society is dependent upon the OPPORTUNITIES and BACKGROUND which the individuals inherit or are exposed to which in turn is the determinant for the level and quality of education and awareness the individuals will attain and not on the number of children the people in the society can produce. 273) Corey Vinson Jones Los Angeles, California USA Tuesday, 7. December :12 Host: adsl dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net Hi, Great Brother and Scientist I am an African-American male and I want to thank you for representing our best and what we can be. I know our African history from the beginning of time, out power and accomplishments in history and in the present is so much apart of me i see our superiority over all races. I have learned that fact are much more grounding than mere belief. We must connect our children to our past and more importantly we must unite worldwide without delay. I pray that our people wake up this Invisible War being waged against our people worldwide. We must face the ugly truth and be willing to risk life to set things straight, why? Because we owe it to our fore-fathers and our children. Out fathers worked hard to bring light to the world and to other races only to be demonized. We

12 were a beautiful and proud people..then made to be what we are percieved today by a evil and jealous people out to conquer the world; foolishly and sadly. And our children deserves the history our ancestors has worked so hard to prove; our strength, intelligence, humility, power, will, and love for all in God's creation. Please join hands Black people worldwide for the coming of God and good on earth and let's bring back the legacy of our fathers! 272) Sylvester Kalu Upkai Amelion24@yahoo.com - Monday, 6.

Sunday, 31. October :48 Host: ascl-gg- 9.usask.ca Prof. Great Emeagwali is a super-genius and a Magnificent role model for African race. he breaks the ceiling. Am a South Sudanese national, but African nationality is my first identity. When I accidentally came across AFROCENTRIC website, I found many African scientists along with Dr. Emeagwali then I was overexcited to know that. At its worst, their names have not published for academic purposes that their achievements may motivate black students and scholars alike. I would urge all black students and scholars to make our scientists and great leaders known. We should write our essays, research papers and books that portray the beauty and rich culture and civilization of African ancestry. If we will not do it, no body will do it. Am proud to an African!!!!
