About ancient Timbuktu and the future of HBCUs; there is a West African proverb that states that "salt comes from the north, gold from the south, and silver from the country of the white men, but the word of God and the treasures of wisdom are only to be found in Timbuktu.
Timbuktu was considered one of the most superb scientific centers of the time period corresponding to the European Medieval and Renaissance eras. How does this relate to HBCUs in general and Howard University specially? It is rare if ever that one hears Mecca, Saudia Arabia, identified as the "Harlem of Saudia Arabia" or Oxford University as the "Howard University of Europe."
