This title helped me to engage in this lecture. I feel that because young people are the future that we need some guidance and support. We also need acknowledgment for the routes we have taken to better our future, such as attend Howard. We all have goals of becoming more and making our society more. In this lecture there were a lot of different names mentioned that I have and haven't heard before. We talked of people that made a difference in different categorize from African Independent Leaders, Julius Nuerere and Nelson Mandela, to Black Power, Angela Davis, and Frances Beal, to African scholars like Chancellor Williams, to poets like Muhammad Ali and Maya Angelou. Then we touched on music, which is involved in all African American (blacks) lives. The artist that I was most happy to see posted was Jill Scott. I think many artist, in one way or another, is teaching viewer of their history. Whether it be due to the way they dress, do their hair, or their lyrics, there is a message that is given within the performance.
There were many messages within the lecture that was very meaningful. The message from Ella Baker, which was that we all are leaders. As well as we should always ask why, how, what and where. We should never settle for less because corruption is everywhere and asking these questions can get you further. The last thing I noted was it is because of faith of ancienty we are here today.
