Dr. Condoleezza Rice at Johnson C. Smith Univ. / HBCU Week..

This past Monday, Dr. Condoleezza Rice was a guest speaker at my school. At first I wasn’t going to go, just based on the fact that I was thinking it was a political move on the behalf of Bush. However I changed my mind, because how many times in life will I have the opportunity to meet someone with that much power? Dr. Rice spoke at the invite only Fall Convocation on the importance of education and how choosing a major that’s dear to your heart, is very important. Not once did she bring up Bush, which really surprised me. Dr. Rice went on to talk about her history and the fact that her father was a Smith alumnus. Dr. Rice also brought up the fact that Bush has now declared this week “HBCU Week” through out the nation. For one how do you all think about us having our own week, and do you think this is just a plot for more African-American students to vote republican? What you all think?
