Howard University Hires Stacey Abrams to Focus on ‘Race and Black Politics'

2023-04-06

[Breitbart] Two-time failed Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is set to join the faculty of Howard University, where she will be the inaugural Ronald W. Walters Endowed Chair for Race and Black Politics.

"The work she has been doing on voter registration and voting irregularities, especially in Georgia but across the country, speaks to a lot of what Ronald Walters embodied," Howard President Wayne A.I. Frederick said of Abrams, according to a report by Washington Post.

"This appointment is extremely important for our students," said the university president, who went on to say that when it comes to topics of black politics and the role politics plays in the lives of black people, "Stacey Abrams epitomizes that in our contemporary experience, in our society."

Abrams, who is expected to begin the multiyear appointment in September, said, "We are entering an inflection point in American politics where the conversation of race and black politics will be a central facet."

"And having the chance to help guide part of the conversation for young people who are studying at Howard University is an exceptional opportunity," the twice-failed gubernatorial candidate added.

Abrams also touched upon the location of Howard University, saying, "Washington, D.C. is an essential part of how we protect democracy, how we think about social policy, how we challenge norms."
