The Nobel Prize
@NobelPrize
Jan 18
Statement from the Nobel Foundation One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed. For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/pr…

In 1941, the government seized 34 acres of Barry Farm to create Barry Farm Dwellings, a segregated public housing development for marginalized Black Washingtonians. Beginning in the late 1950s, the demolition of most low-income, Black neighborhoods changed public housing.

In the South Carolina Lowcountry, issues arising from heirs’ property result in tremendous property loss and depletion of historic rural Black communities. Heirs’ property stems from African Americans acquiring land shortly after the end of slavery.
