My school is best known for their revolutionary acts against racism, and the misrepresentation of the black community, not just in the United States, but also abroad. Howard has a rich and heavy history. It is a historically Black University built to educate and gear great opportunity towards the black student, and it still does so today. Howard is always on the frontline when it comes to issues of descrimination amongst our people, and when any student enters Howard University's gates, they are instantly obligated to uphold the morals and character of great black men and women.

Howard is probably best known for its homecoming. Everyone remembers the line from Ludacris' song "and make sure I don't miss the homecoming at Howard," which put our homecoming even further in the spotlight. The whole street is basically blocked off during homecoming. People come from everywhere mostly for the parties and the inevitable celebrity sitings. Even people who have never attended the school show up. There's parties all weekend and celebrities literally all over campus. It's definitely something to experience at least once and people just keep coming back.
