Autobiography

The bulk of this article reads like an autobiography, especially the Career section. Indeed, many of the edits were made by User:Toure and the article was created by User:General Kizza whose contributions are mainly the Toure article.

Here is how I would reboot the Career section using independent, reliable sources:

While a student at Emory University, Touré founded the black student newspaper, The Fire This Time.
