Folks,
Hope everyone had a great new year celebration. Wish you all a very happy a and prosperous 2005.
Some years Brother Saikou Samateh led an effort to catalog Gambian first names. The collaborative effort led to some 350 names. Last year a similar effort on last names led to discovery of many other names to Gambian last names. In the next few weeks I will add the results of these findings to the Atlas of the Gambia website.
In the mean time I am asking for a list of notable Gambians, past and present. They can be Kings, Presidents and Politicians, power brokers, warrior generals, foot soldiers, slave owners/traders, slaves, ex-convicts, rebel leaders, religious / traditional leaders, cattle-owners, ordinary mothers and fathers, sportsmen/women, teachers, students, scholars you name it. Just share with us who they are/were, where they come from, what made them notable and if possible where they are today. If possible no more than two paragraphs. All contributions will be duely noted and results will be summarized and shared online.
Malanding Jaiteh
