Two Iconic Writers Join Howard's Illustrious Faculty

Dear Howard University Community,
 

In Memoriam: Gloria Richardson

Dear Howard University Community,
 
It is with deep sadness that I share news of the passing of Gloria Richardson, a civil rights icon and revolutionary activist, at the age of 99. Amidst the towering male figures of the 1960s, Richardson stood in no one’s shadow. As much as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X helped define two separate poles of civil rights activism, Richardson came to represent another distinct wing of the movement.

Independence Day 2021

Dear Howard University Community,
 
The founding of the United States on July 4, 1776 was predicated on a vision of what was to come rather than an acknowledgement of what already existed. The Declaration of Independence did not instantaneously create a new nation, but rather an intent to found one and the principles upon which it would be built. There was still a war to be fought, a constitution to be drafted and a government to be created before America would truly take shape. But still, the date we recognize as the beginning coincided with the dream of what could be.

Responding to the Cyberattack

Dear Howard University Community,
 
This past week has been a trying one for our University. As so many in our community were still adjusting to being back on campus after a prolonged absence and acclimating to campus life amidst our pandemic response, we encountered yet a new challenge. The ransomware cyberattack of September 3 has disrupted our University’s operations and made it difficult for our students to study, our faculty to teach and our staff to work.
