Guest would have us believe that the educators and students at Howard (or other black school) have closed minds against the past.
To raise another controversial subject, I consider these schools to be a relic of the past. The students and staff are imposing segregation upon themselves. A number of these schools are now open to both blacks and whites, and I expect the trend to continue.
Howard University, in its admission information, states "To protect its character .... the University reserves the right and the applicant concedes to the University the right, to deny admission to any student at any time for any reason the University deems sufficient." I believe that the intent of this statement is to ensure black predominance.
