  1. I am sorry for the loss of a great African-American Man, distinguished Scholar: Dr. Donald
    Stewart. He was a beautiful Soul and Heart replete with warmth, dedication, integrity and dignity. I was honored to be the first Moroccan to serve under His Presidency as an Intructor at Spelman College after graduating from both Atlanta University and the University of Georgia. May the Almighty God bless His Soul!
    Like Spelman College, His Memory is a cherished and valuable part of my African-American Experience. I send my sincere Condolences to His family and friends: Ahmed Sabar, Fes , Morocco.
