Chris Morehouse holds a Master’s of Public and International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh, where he focused on economic and social development in Africa. He has long admired the way that African proverbs encapsulate profound wisdom in vivid ways. A legacy for all, African proverbs often accord with Judeo-Christian teachings.
