Howard University c1900
On this site I shall provide some information about the many Jamaican men and
women who studied at Howard University in the fifty years between 1890 and
1940. I have, at the moment, more information on earlier graduates, and less on
those of the 1930s, but I hope to remedy that situation. In general I have fair amounts of information on some graduates, and almost nothing on others,
especially those who did not return home. Unfortunately I do not have photographs of many of these men and women, and again I hope I may find more in the future.
I shall continue work on this site as and when I can, as I work on getting caught up with the back-log of sites which I have accumulated! Joy Lumsden
UPDATE (April 10, 2008): I have received from the Howard Archives copies of the Class Lists for the 1930s, so I hope to be able to add more names of Jamaican graduates in that decade. Many thanks for the help!
If you can add or correct any information on any of the Howard graduates please email me at our.history@jamaica.la
