Crampton Auditorium at Howard University, 2455 6th St, NW, Washington, DC 20059
Howard University has a rich history of student activism. From the 1989 historic student protest to remove Lee Atwater, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, from the University’s Board of Trustees to the 2006 Black Tuesday protest to urge the Supreme Court to uphold affirmative action, students at Howard University have always been actively involved on their campus and in their communities. Come learn more about activism in the past and present at Howard and what it could and should look like in the future through a panel discussion. The panel will feature April R. Silver, founder of AKILA WORKSONGS, Inc. and one of the leaders of the 1989 student protest; Stefanie L. Brown, the National Director of the NAACP Youth & College Division and 2004 Howard graduate; Timothy L. Jenkins, chairman and CEO of Unlimited Visions, Inc.; and Ras Baraka, a poet and activist who also graduated from Howard.
