Overall: @Iamawesomeautomatic: Good article. However, the hook should mention that he was the first black african to win the nobel prize since Max Theiler seems to have won before luthuli (though is a white african). Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:12, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: Thank you for the feedback. However, this nomination focused on the Nobel Peace Prize in particular. Just in case, I looked at the list of Nobel Peace Prize laureates to see if anyone before Luthuli was African, but he was the first. Iamawesomeautomatic (talk) 21:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
