At Howard, I was never really the pro-Black guy. I wasn't militant. I never owned a daishiki or adopted a non-Anglo name. But once I left, I realized that my alma mater taught me not to accept the societal presumption that I was less than. In everyday society I am seen as an agitator, not because I advocate for revolution but because my recognition of my self-worth and the worth of my people is seen as revolutionary. That has to change.
