<----- was a National Achievement Scholar finalist, a program implemented for African Americans to balance the playing field since the National Merit Scholarship Program was inherently biased. Two of my co-finalists went to Ivy League schools--one to Harvard, the other to Yale.
The two Scholarship winners turned them down and went to Howard. One (an Omega Man) became the youngest attorney to argue a case before the Supreme Court.
Oh yeah, I attended an historically Black high school in St. Louis--the first one west of the Mississippi River. Most of my teachers were HBCU graduates.
