A00476 - Kiiren Aamer Jackson and Abdullahi Mire

 

I note the following from a recent Amherst communication

Students Mourn Death of Abdullahi Mire ’26E

Current students and recent graduates remember Abdullahi Mire ’26E — who passed away in late November — by his eloquent poetry, dedication towards the Muslim Student Association, and vibrant personality.

Following the death of Kiiren Aamer Jackson, Class of 1924, it would appear that these are some particularly sad times for Amherst students, especially Amherst students of color.

Take care everyone.
