Description
A humanitarian from Pierce County is among the world leaders celebrating the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway this weekend.
Kwabi Amoah-Forson left his powder blue "Peace Bus" behind in Tacoma and traveled 4,500 miles to attend the ceremony.
In July the city of Tacoma awarded Amoah-Forson with the Greater Tacoma Peace Prize.
“I’m the youngest recipient to ever be awarded this honor and I’m super thankful," he said.
As Tacomas 2022 Laureate, Amoah-Forson is now taking his message of peace from the Pacific Northwest to Oslo, Norway to join world leaders for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.
“This is all about peace and people from all over the world who are just as passionate. This will be like my Super Bowl,” he said.
Amoah-Forson will also spend time at the University of Oslo discussing its conflict resolution curriculum. The Nobel Peace Center and Peace Research Institute are big stops for the Peace Bus ambassador and Amoah-Forson says he will be excited to share his thoughts after the official ceremony this weekend.
