Before adding a request please:

Biography requests are organized by profession and nationality; add your request to both categories if possible. Keep requests in order by the person's last name.

Information to include
  • Name – be certain of the spelling; alphabetize by last name in each section.
  • Date requested – so that older requests can be more easily tracked.
  • Identifying information – For, example, there are lots of James Smiths in the world; so specify which one are you asking about -- the Scottish architect, the American rapper, or who?
  • Notability – if it isn't already obvious from the identifying information, describe precisely what makes them notable. Be concise.
  • Reference – add a link to a reference which identifies the person and/or highlights their notability

Also, when adding a request, please include as much information as possible (such as webpages, articles, or other reference material) so editors can find and distinguish your request from an already-created article.

Activists

  • Agreed, she would be Alice Harris, (born Alice Seeley) wife of John Hobbis Harris. An English missionary and activist who used photography and photojournalism to help end Leopold's Free Congo State by photographing and publishing the atrocities carried out by the Belgian rubber industry against Congolese natives (particularly children) in newspapers around the world which attracted much of the global support that began the effort to end Leopold's rule. Her most iconic image is probably that of Nsala, a Congolese rubber tapper, who was photographed sitting with his daughter's severed hand and foot after she and her mother were executed. | image of Nsala. Not sure how to cite it but she's briefly covered in the History Channel's "Mankind: The Story of All of Us" (episode: "New Frontiers" 2012) if that gives any leads on better sources. I will say I disagree on the use of the term "social media". She was an excellent example of early activism using photojournalism, but social media was not a concept in the turn of the 20th century.
