Peace Prize Laureates: Answers

How well did you know these Peace Prize laureates? How well informed were you about them compared to, say, the latest hit singer or movie star? Does this mean (maybe) that we should be writing different kinds of Guide Entries? (Just a thought.)

Here's what they did to become Peace Prize winners.

Surprised at some of these people? Learn more about them. Maybe they have an idea we could borrow to stop the madness in our own neighbourhoods. Personally, I'd like each and every one of them to be more famous than Donald Trump.

P.S. This quiz was inspired by some coursework I'm writing for in 'modern world history'. The Instructional Designer wanted to end the course by reminding students that resistance was not futile.
