Dr. Eleanor W. Taylor

On September 16th, Dr. Eleanor Taylor was the guest speaker for the lecture session and spoke to the audience about the group Hissaid. This group was comprised of various intellectual thinkers and scholars that had emerged from Howard University. She also went into detail about the various gifts or powers that a few of these individuals had and how that specific power was able to impact the world in some shape or form. Dr. Taylor went on to confirm that we students also have such powers that must be harnessed and looked after. As the lecture progressed, she gave us insight on some of the poetry of Langston Hughes, facts about Zora Neale Hurston, and Toni Morrison. She also spoke about the immense diversity within Howard's campus and throughout its student population both back then and at the current period in time.
