Kwame Ture Society

Kwame Ture Society for Africana Studies is a student organization on Howard University's campus which seeks to engage our community through study and service.

Happy 81st Birthday to Kwame Ture!

Born in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, raised in New York City, Ture went on to become a leading voice on scientific socialism and Pan-Africanism. His work lives on in the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP).

[Kwame Ture Society @kts_HU]

The meaning of Pan-Africanism is to fight for a reality under which all of the children of Africa are liberated, celebrated, thriving, and free from oppression. We get to that reality by breaking through ethnic barriers in spaces like HU’s African Student Association.

[Kwame Ture Society @kts_HU]

As a Pan-Africanist organization on Howard’s campus, it is nonsense to suggest that celebrating individual cultures is an act that sows division. In fact, it is the opposite, and throughout the years, ASA has demonstrated a commitment to celebrating diversity at Howard.

[Kwame Ture Society @kts_HU]

It is a testament to ASA and Howard’s cosmopolitan culture that an existing body on campus is able to gather students representing a vast number of nations/ethnicities on the African continent, while also collaborating with other diaspora-minded organizations on campus.

Another meeting in the books with another great conversation to follow!! David Walker has once again served as the fuel to such a great conversation. We are about halfway done with his appeal so make sure you make a meeting to join the conversation :)

[Kwame Ture Society @kts_HU]

See you all there!

[Kwame Ture Society @kts_HU]

We continue with this reading on Tuesdays at 5:10 in Room 122 in DGH!

[Kwame Ture Society @kts_HU]

KTS is halfway through our reading of a Black Studies classic: David Walker’s Appeal. Despite being published in 1829, it’s a critical piece in understanding how Africans in the Western Hemisphere came to understand themselves & the new world they were faced with.
