At the just ended 2014 annual Africa Conference at UTA, Professor Edward Alpers of UCLA also received the DISTINGUISHED AFRICANIST AWARD.
As one of the seventy-something doctoral dissertations that Ned has chaired/produced over the years, I am delighted and proud of all his accomplishments and sacrifices. This award couldn't have gone to a more deserving and an accomplished scholar.
Congratulations to Ned Alpers, and all the other honorees!
