Howard Students Say Blacks Need to Reach Out to Lift Community - Higher Education: WASHINGTON — Howard University students Anthony Miller and Shaquille Turner said a more global outlook can be done when improving the Black community in America by working with other oppressed people.But fellow student Victor Ehienulo said Blacks in America and those of African descent worldwide must help themselves.
“I was called [derogatory names] by other African-Americans,” said Ehienulo, a 20-year-old junior from Nigeria who studies business. “If we can’t come together as Blacks first, then we can’t help anyone else.”
These and other topics were discussed at a student forum last week at Howard’s Blackburn Center in conjunction with the State of the Black World Conference at the school that lasted throughout the weekend.
