Samoan Heroes #13: Associate Professor Damon Salesa
Damon Salesa is a Pacific historian and writer who specialises in Samoan history. He was the first Pasifika person to win an Oxford University Rhodes Scholarship. ‘I never quite made it as a rugby player or basketball player!’ Damon says. ‘It was research and writing that I really loved, even though I didn’t come from an academic family.’
Friends and family will you help me publish this book on Samoan achievers for young people? The campaign ends on Saturday and we’re halfway there.
