Kenya: Open Letter to Wangari Maathai

Makafui's Open Letter to Wangari Maathai: “Professor Maathai,
It was during my second year in college when I first heard of your name. It was probably the answer to a trivia question. “Who was the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize?” I didn't know the answer, but it meant that I had to do more research for myself when the response was finally revealed.”
