I send my support to the residents of Talbert Terrace, pushing back against gentrification. Itโ€™s hard seeing your beloved neighborhood change, and people act like youโ€™re invisible. However, so many are fighting back and protecting their legacies. No, we will not be pushed out and cast aside because our communities are now โ€œfashionableโ€ to the elite. Keep on marching!

HU Needs Committed Leader

Is it me, or does Howard University get a new president every U.S. presidential term? Whatever happened to being committed and steadfast to a job? These days it seems as if they enter with a day of exit already planned. With such high leadership turnover, whereโ€™s the continuity of policies and programs to even see if it is effective? Bigger than that, whatโ€™s the long-term impact on the universityโ€™s operating environment and culture for its students?
