Howard University Historic District
Founded in 1867, Howard University became the preeminent historically Black university in America, producing generations of civil rights lawyers, doctors, artists, and politicians. The historic district — a National Historic Landmark — includes Founders Library, which served as the headquarters of Thurgood Marshall's NAACP legal team as they prepared the Brown v. Board of Education case.
Counter-Narrative
