Once incarcerated in Missouri, Dr. Stanley Andrisse is now a tenured professor at Howard University. His story proves the power of research excellence, educational access, and second chances at the nation’s only R1-designated HBCU.

Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her.
Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken.
Rest Free, Assata.
