Howard University's 142th Opening Convacation

Dr. Ewart F. Brown

For this years convocation, Dr. Ewart Brown was the guest speaker. He gave a very interesting speech that actual kept me interested the entire time. During the beginning of the convocation , i found it hard to stay up. It seemed like it took 30 minutes for all faculty to march in. The music also made me sleepy and seemed to go on for ever.
Dr. Brown talked about the seats your sitting in , may have been sitting in by famous and successful Howard graduates. I can tell that everyone in the room was moved by his speech. It was like he set a atmosphere or hope and pride. At the end of the ceremony everyone stood united and held hands, while singing the Alma Mater. So , even though it was boring in the beginning , i felt it was a overall good experience.
