Just for clarification: who made this list?
And why is it that whoever made the list included only two women? Surely
Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, and many others, rate just as high as Miriam
Makeba and Winnie Mandela.

Editor's Note:
To the best of my knowledge, the original
compiler of this particular list was Jim
Mutugi <tugs@grove.ufl.edu>, as indicated
in the message which was copied to
H-AFRICA by Rick Dyson.
