Description of Pictures: We'd like to invite you, as a member and supporter from the Washington, D.C. area, to join us at Howard University’s Founders Library for a special announcement about the historic site on Monday, Feb. 29, 2016 at 2 p.m.
From the grand reading rooms to its iconic clock tower, The Founders Library has been a hub of African-American intellectual and creative achievement, as well as a central meeting place for higher learning and social activism, for more than 75 years.
National Trust for Historic Preservation President, Stephanie Meeks, and Howard University President, Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick, will share details about the new strategic partnership between the two institutions. The National Trust’s own Brent Leggs will also share remarks on why preserving more African-American historic places is critical to telling the full breadth of American history.
The audience included Robert Enholm (Executive Director of the President Woodrow Wilson House) and Chase Rynd (Executive Director of the National Building Museum).

Wikipedia Description: Howard University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Howard University is a federally chartered, non-profit, private, coeducational, nonsectarian, historically black university located in Washington, D.C., United States.

Today, it is a member school of the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund and is partially funded by the US Government, which gives approximately $235 million annually. From its outset, it was nonsectarian and open to people of both sexes and all races. Howard has graduate schools of pharmacy, law, medicine, dentistry and divinity, in addition to the undergraduate program.

History:

In November 1866, shortly after the end of the Civil War, members of The First Congregational Society of Washington considered establishing a theological seminary for the education of African-American clergymen. Within a few weeks, the project expanded to include a provision for establishing a university. Within two years, the University consisted of the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Medicine. The new institution was named for General Oliver Otis Howard, a Civil War hero, who was both the founder of the University and, at the time, Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau. Howard later served as President of the university from 1869-74.

Congress chartered Howard on March 2, 1867, and much of its early funding came from endowment, private benefaction, and tuition. An annual congressional appropriation administered by the U.S. Department of Education funds Howard University and Howard University Hospital.

Howard University has played an important role in American history and the Civil Rights Movement on a number of occasions. Alain Locke, Chair of the Department of Philosophy and first African American Rhodes Scholar, authored The New Negro, which helped to usher in the Harlem Renaissance. Ralph Bunche, the first Nobel Peace Prize winner of African descent, served as chair of the Department of Political Science. Stokely Carmichael, also known as Kwame Toure, ...More...

2016 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Seven relatively short trips this year: a Civil War Trust conference in Gettysburg, PA, a trip out west for San Diego Comic-Con (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, a trip to West Point, NY for another Civil War Trust conference (visiting Manhattan on the way), two two-day return trips to Manhattan, NY, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
