      We, the Kwame Ture Society, stand in solidarity with the students and faculty members of the Dept. of Classics at Howard University. Howard should not and must not dissolve this long-standing and integral department. #SaveHUClassicshttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1I6AyEAhzUvRe9-V5vOk0EAQR9LFW5gXHxmlG6CbUiyI/viewform?edit_requested=true …

      The Dept. of Classics at Howard University is the only of its kind at an HBCU. To dissolve it would be to bar any student at any historically Black college from participating in a discipline that lacks Black voices and Black perspectives. This shall not happen. #SaveHUClassics

      To dissolve the department would be to dishonor the legacy of the late HU Alumna Toni Morrison, who minored in the classics during her time at Howard University. It is imperative that young writers have access to classical literature, as Morrison did. #SaveHUClassicspic.twitter.com/yqdGUShSfI

          To dissolve the Classics Dept. would be to deny Black students from probing into Black reality. The classics often disregard Africans in antiquity, which former Howard professor emeritus Frank Snowden, Jr. studied extensively. This sort of study shall continue. #SaveHUClassicspic.twitter.com/2lEZntEfzu

          The decision to dissolve the Dept. of Classics would be telling of the university's trend toward de-emphasizing the humanities. In 2013, the Anthropology dept. was dissolved. Eight years later, the classics are at risk. Does @HowardU not value the humanities? #SaveHUClassics

          Please sign this petition by @twilli523 and keep Howard University from dissolving its Department of Classics. Examining our past is important, and classical study is one way to do so. #SaveHUClassicshttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1I6AyEAhzUvRe9-V5vOk0EAQR9LFW5gXHxmlG6CbUiyI/viewform?edit_requested=true …
