Scribes

A scribe is person who writes books by hand. Modern forms of scribes are journalists, lawyers, typers, and government officials. In a way, every student is a scribe. We have to write papers, take and make notes, type, and the most active student scribes are those who produce the school news paper. All of us don't have to write for the masses but we are still scribes non the less. We have to make sure that everything is accurate and done properly or else we fail. Failure is not an option for a scribe most importantly because you have to give correct information to get the correct results. If there is a miscommunication who know what will possibley go wrong. Scribes are not only people who write, but people who are advocates. The buildings and residence halls of this campus are named after famous advocates. These include Lulu Vere Childress, Alain Leroy Locke, Phyllis Wheatley, and Harriet Tubman. These people made it possible for African-Americans to be recognized as human beings and show that we are just as talented as any other racial group. Also, to show that we are not only entertainers but also have the gift of thought. Zora Neale Hurston, a Howard graduate and founder of our school newspaper "The Hilltop", became a famous author and wrote a novel called "Their Eyes Were Watching God." Phyllis Wheatley was a slave but was recognized as a poet and author. Her and Zora Neale Hurston's works are still loved and cherished today.
