Engaging with the classics and with our civilizational heritage is the means to finding our true voice. It is how we become our full selves, spiritually free and morally great.” New article by @jeremytate41 and @cornelwest in @washingtonpost : @HowardUniv

Opinion | Howard University’s removal of classics is a spiritual catastrophe

One of America's greatest Black universities is diminishing the light and wisdom that inspired Frederick Douglass, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and countless other freedom fighters.
