| Howard University | | Based in Washington, D.C., Howard University was founded as a theological seminary to train African American clergymen in 1867. Guided by the motto “Veritas Et Utilitas” or “Truth And Service,” the university was charged with the task of providing an education for newly emancipated slaves. A mainstay within the network of historic black universities, Howard University graduates have achieved notoriety in many facets of American life, including playwright Amiri Baraka and former Illinois State Attorney General Hon. Roland Burris. |
