________________________________

and theres a couple thousand other people, but those are the ones who I figured people might know.

I think its interesting to find out about influential people, so put me deep to people from around your way!

the list I compiled this from didn't include my uncle, Errol B Davis.

Dude came from the HOOD, applied himself in schoo, went to Carnegie Mellon University.  He worked his way up and became the CEO of Alliant Energy, amd the President of CMU.  When he retired from that he became the Chancellor of the University System of Georgia, and now he is the superintendent of the Atlanta School district.

he made it

I thought Akon was from Africa
Born in the Lou, moved to Senegal as a kid. Then at 7, moved to NJ. He was down with Wyclef when they had the booga basement in the early 90's. The first part from Wiki, the last part I remembered from an interview he gave somewhere.
