Abandonment, Dismemberment and Reawakening : The History and Legacy of Howard University

In this lecture, Dr. Dunston spoke to us about how the human genome connected the people of today to our African ancestors. How the remnants of great educators and philosophers of the past have been passed down to us, even though we don’t even realize it. The human genome is a very powerful thing. Not only does it determine our outward appearance, but who we are as people too. Knowing what greatness our genomes descended from should inspire people to continue their work. My generation is the ones who will continue the work that those today are doing, which Dr. Dunston stated. She encouraged many of us to always continue to pursue knowledge and continue research. It truly would help better the world we live in.
