THE AFRO — “It was Boseman’s desire to see the students of Howard achieve greatness,” said Howard University President Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick in a statement. “Together, he and I shared many conversations preparing plans for a project that would bring him back to campus, which was very close to being ready to announce. Although now he will not be here to witness the harvest of the seeds he planted, we will continue to water and cultivate them in his memory.”
