Alfred Nobel (1833-1896), the inventor of dynamite, was a chemist, engineer, businessman and, most memorably, philanthropist; he was also a scholar, fluent in Russian, French, English and German. Above all, he loved poetry.
'Du Bois has had a lasting influence on the 21st century and it’s fantastic that we can still celebrate his work today.' --Rep William 'Smitty' Pignatelli, D-Lenox
