The Eloquence of the Scribes: Continuing the Legacy of Howard Univ

              September 16th we had Dr. Eleanor Traylor come and speak to us about a variety of topics. One of the first topics she began to explore on was “Diversity in Higher Education”, she also went on to inform us that knowledge is only one thing, but how we use it is a total different thing.  Dr. Traylor says that we all have a special type of power within ourselves; she tells this new generation that we need to learn to listen with our telepathic ears.  Between her topics, Dr. Traylor names a few people who have maintained to receive their higher level of education, and who have set the atmosphere for others to do the same thing. Ronald Walters, one of the few she named, was an American scholar and was also known worldwide for his knowledge of African American politics and most definitely through his leadership and his writing. Dr. Traylor goes in to tell us that Ronald Walters wrote a book in which he predicts the challenges of a black president.
                Even though I did not follow everything that Dr. Traylor was saying, I did pick up on some of her main key points.
