Fallou Ngom

This is the esteemed Fallou Ngom. Professor of Anthropology at Boston University. His specialty is Ajami, the ancient practice of writing African languages in modified Arabic script. He is the consummate teacher, but also a scholar of epic reputation. He was a big hit with our group of course. It is good to see Fallou again. He led our Fulbright-Hays group in 2016 with charisma, maturity, flair, kindness, professionalism, humor, and scholarship. It is an honor to know this fellow and to be in his company. I have learned so much from him.
