Howard Women in Bloom
Since Howard University’s federal charter was signed on March 2, 1867, we have commemorated Charter Day by honoring the trailblazers of history while recognizing the triumphs of present-day heroes. This year we celebrate the intersection of Charter Day and Women’s History Month by honoring three of many Howard women that blossomed into visionaries, changemakers, and legends.
