Lloyd G. Balfour Foundation Awards $1 million to the Balfour
Presidents-in-Residence Program

affairs, who said promoting democracy in Africa and Western
private investment on the continent are among his office's top
priorities. [news

Former
ambassador to head new African research center
To judge by headlines
alone, Africa's modern history would appear as an ongoing
parade of horrors: famine, civil wars, racial strife, and
an AIDS epidemic that has claimed millions of lives. But as
U.S. ambassador to Tanzania for the past two years, Charles
Stith saw a much more complex and hopeful picture emerging
in Africa. He brings that experience with him to launch and
direct the Boston University African Presidential Archives
and Research Center. [news

New
African Research Center to Attract Ex-Presidents
To combat
a lack of knowledge about Africa and its politics, Boston
University will develop an African Presidential Archives and
Research Center over the next year, according to director
Rev. Charles Stith. “I think Americans generally have
very little insight and knowledge of Africa, either historically
and contemporarily,” Stith said, adding the current political
changes in Africa are the most significant in recent history,
especially since the shift toward democracy. [news
