The history of Howard first started with General Oliver Otis Howard, who believed, “The rights of the freedman, which are not yet secured to him, are the direct reverse of the wrongs committed against him. I never could detect the shadow of a reason why the color of the skin should impair the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Then you had Mordecai Wyatt Johnson who was an American educator who served as the first black president of Howard University, from 1926 until 1960. He received his B.A. from Morehouse College in 1911, and second Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Chicago two years later. 1917 he was the First Baptist Church in Charleston, West Virginia. He later founded a chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His building is known as the Administration Building across from the Main Gate.
School of Social Work is here at Howard University because of Inabel Burns Lindsay, who worked to establish the school and become its first dean in 1945. “She was a champion for social work, civil rights and social work education for all people”.
On our beautiful and historic campus we have, Founders Library, Carnegie Building, Alaine Leroy Locke Hall, Lulu Vere Childrers Hall, Douglass Memorial Hall, and many more.
