We toured the campus history display at the Founder’s Library. In addition to the regular display, there was a special 100th anniversary display on the history of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. AKA’s Alpha chapter was founded at the university in 1908 when there were only 8 women in Howard’s senior class. There were 2 women in the class of 1909.
As we left Howard and walked to a different Metro station than we arrived at (a longer walk than I envisioned, but the weather was really nice today), we came across an energetic group of youths holding an Obama ‘08 rally in the street – complete with music playing, sign waving and cars honking.
