Cheek stood before a podium emblazoned with the Howard University seal and delivered his per­ sonal message to members of the class of 1989. As blue and white balloons drifted overhead and flower vendors prepared to do a booming business, he looked out at the upturned faces before him and said: “We thank you for having chosen How­ ard as the place to participate in the ex­ perience of education and you leave us with our fondest wish for God’s richest benediction upon all of your endeavors. May God bless and crown you with success.” To many onlookers there was a partic­ ular poignancy about his remarks, as there was about the whole scene on that balmy May 13th. For it marked the last time that James E. Cheek would preside over a Howard University com­ mencement. On April 22, the chairman of Howard’s Board of Trustees announced Cheek’s decision to retire as Howard’s president, effective June 30, 1989, exactly two de­ cades and day after Cheek first took over the job. Now, on an occasion that customarily signifies new beginnings, he bid his for­ mal adieu to the university community. He spoke without rhetorical flourishes and fanfare, but from the heart: “It would be appropriate on this my final commencement to have some elo­ quent words of farewell. I do not. I sim­ ply want to say to all of you, the mem­ bers of the Board of Trustees, the members of the faculty, the students, the alumni, the staff and the supporters of this institution: Celestine, Jimmy and Janet [his wife and two children] and I ex- NEW DIRECTIONS JULY 1989 6 press to all of you our deepest thanks for that Howard was doomed to take a back having afforded us the privilege over two seat in higher education, that so much decades of working in your midst and Under Cheek’s leadership, damage had been done to our reputation being a part of the Howard University that we’d not be able to attract faculty, mission and the Howard University nearly every facet of the that we were going to be a kind of back­ family. university. has in­ water institution,” as Michael R.

  • African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors
    African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors, Welcome to the African American Heritage Trail for Washington, DC! It is my honor to present this latest edition of the guide to the inspiring history of African Americans in this world-class city. From Benjamin Banneker’s essential role in the survey of the District in 1791, to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 and beyond, African Americans have made DC a capital of activism and culture. John H. Fleet, a physician, teacher, and abolitionist, called Georgetown home. Ralph J. Bunche, a professor, United Nations negotiator, and Nobel Peace Prize recipi- ent settled in Brookland. Anthony Bowen, an abolitionist, community leader, and Underground Railroad conductor changed the world from a modest home in Southwest. Washington is where advisor to U.S. presidents Mary McLeod Bethune, activist A. Phillip Randolph, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and visual artist Lois Mailou Jones all lived and made their careers. On the African American Heritage Trail, you’ll see important sites in the lives of each of these remarkable people. You’ll also encounter U Street, long a hub for African American theater and music; Howard University, the flagship of African American higher education; and Anacostia, a historic black suburb once home to Frederick Douglass. Alongside these paragons of American history and culture, generations of African Americans from all walks of life built strong communities, churches, businesses, Front cover: Esquisse for Ode to Kinshasa by Lois Mailou Jones, and other institutions that have made DC the vital city Museum of Women in the Arts; George E.C.

  • City Within a City GREATER U STREET HERITAGE TRAIL
    City Within a City GREATER U STREET HERITAGE TRAIL For the first half of the twentieth century, this U Street neighborhood inspired and sustained the rich social, civic, and cultural life of Washington’s African American community. Follow this trail to the places that tell the story of this exceptional community in the heart of the nation’s capital. Welcome. Visitors to Washington, D.C. flock to the National Mall, where grand monuments symbolize the nation’s highest ideals. This walking tour invites you to deepen your experience of the nation’s capital by discovering the places where people in the Shaw/U Street neighborhood — for half a century the heart of African American business and culture in Washington — worked to make those ideals a reality. Adjacent to the famed Howard University, this neighborhood was home to Duke Ellington, leading African American art- ists and professionals, and a thriving black community of churches, schools, and social and civic organizations. Here people of color responded with strength to the injus- tices of segregation, engaging in some of the nation’s first civil rights protests while simultaneously building a vibrant urban center of their own —“a city within a city.” Duke Ellington mural G.
