    Thank you GOOGLE for not only shinning a light on sir Arthur Lewis and his historic accomplishments but for also putting my island home , St. Lucia on full blast. We're a small Island compared to many in the Caribbean but we have 2 Noble prize winners. I've never been more proud...

    We need to hear about men and women like Sir W. Arthur Lewis, if not for racism we would have. I wish I knew him.

    This great man should acknowledged in all schools he got to the top by shear hard work and belief
    Also a message here for Black Politicians always whinging for a leg up .
    The Caribbean to day would be in great shape if they listened to Arthur Lewis

      Hearing that he nearly worked himself to death, fighting for the Federation is so saddening. Certainly a credit to us all.

      @@mellis966 Princeton came at the latter part of his career. His career was launched in the UK as you already know and because of his success there he was accepted at Princeton but you are correct there were many great men of color in the US who accomplished so much but are simply forgotten. So very sad.
