West Indian on the Campus (1933)

In light of Kamala Harris becoming the Vice President, I'm putting this article up separately. I posted it here in a related thread. It's traces the history of West Indian students at Howard University from 1867 to 1933, the date it was published.

Written by Alfred Edgar Smith, an African American activist, journalist, and government worker. Pictured below with Mary Mcleod Bethune and other members of the Federal Council on Negro Affairs. Howard graduate '28, '32

JAMAICAN AMBASSADOR TO U.S. DESCRIBES COLLABORATION BETWEEN UWI AND HCBU INSTITUTIONS


On May 26, 2022, Audrey Marks, Jamaican Ambassador to the United States, hosted Dale Webber, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona Campus, on her monthly “Let’s Connect” series in a virtual town hall. The event focused on the opportunities created by UWI and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the US for exchange programs and scholarships. Joining Marks and Webber was Dr. Tashni-Ann DuBroy, executive vice president and COO of Howard University. Marks emphasized the critical role that HBCUs play in the education of members of the Jamaican Diaspora in the US. When the exchange program is officially launched, it will eventually apply to 1,000 Jamaican students per year. There are 100 HBCUs in the US, or about three percent of the higher education institutions in the country. Most are located in the southeastern portion of the US, and while most cater to Black/African American students, about 24 percent of their enrollment comprises non-Black students
