The Root, a daily online magazine that provides commentary on today's news from a variety of black perspectives, came out with a list of top 100 African-Americans who are doing the "most good in the world." Edited by renowned race expert Dr. Henry Louis Gates, the Harvard professor who made national news when he was arrested in his own home in Cambridge, Mass. this past summer.
Among those featured include: Joshua Dubois, Director, White House of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships; Donna Payne, Board Vice President, National Black Justice Coalition; Winston "Wole" Soboyejo, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University; and Rabbi Alyssa Stanton, America's first Black female Rabbi.
