In 1867, General Oliver Otis Howard sought to establish a university whose primary purpose would be to take upon itself an unprecedented challenge: that of educating Black America. In those days, not only was the thought of educating masses of blacks slightly unsettling, but also feared by former slaveowners who knew the potential of a little education. Public opinion notwithstanding, in that year the seedlings were planted for what would later become an international institution responsible for spawning scores of leaders in virtually every field of human endeavor. Howard University is an international institution, a venerable one, and a highly visible one. We are leaders and people look up to us for guidance, inspiration, and confidence. We are dedicated to strengthening ourselves as well as others who aspire to reach beyond their perceived limitations. It defies the imagination even to ponder where black people and America alike would be today were it not for institutions like Howard. In plain language, we believe that where Black Americans go, so goes the nation. As the largest comprehensive university with a predominantly black constituency, where Howard goes, so go Black Americans. We are, and forever will be, THE MECCA.

Our campuses are battlegrounds where the serious seek to confront knowledge, where the truth grapples hand in hand with falsehood, where understanding comes face to face with confusion. Let us all understand that Howard University is no resting place ... s O STlllWflL
