(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Stacey Abrams, a Democrat politician who lost both Georgia‘s 2018 and 2022 gubernatorial races, will join the faculty of historically black Howard University where she will be the inaugural Ronald W. Walters Endowed Chair for Race and Black Politics.
“The work she has been doing on voter registration and voting irregularities, especially in Georgia but across the country, speaks to a lot of what Ronald Walters embodied,” Howard President Wayne A.I. Frederick said about Abrams, according to Breitbart.
“This appointment is extremely important for our students.”
The university president also went on to say that when it comes to topics of black politics and the role politics plays in the lives of black people, “Stacey Abrams epitomizes that in our contemporary experience, in our society.”
Abrams, who is supposed to start working for the university in September, also commented on her multiyear appointment.
“We are entering an inflection point in American politics where the conversation of race and black politics will be a central facet,” the twice-failed gubernatorial candidate said.
“And having the chance to help guide part of the conversation for young people who are studying at Howard University is an exceptional opportunity.”
She also pointed out the importance of the university’s location.
“Washington, D.C. is an essential part of how we protect democracy, how we think about social policy, how we challenge norms,” she said.
“And Howard University is a crucible for how we can engage all of those pieces. And so when they approached me, I was excited.”
However, Abrams is not the only person who was hired by the woke university. New York Times writer and author of the “1619 Project” that distorts American history Nikole Hannah-Jones accepted a role at Howard in 2021, rejecting a tenured position at the University of North Carolina’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Slavery reparations advocate, author and Marvel comic book writer Ta-Nehisi Coates joined the university’s faculty the same year as well.
