The Rhodes Trust announced the 32 scholars chosen for all-expense paid study at Oxford University in England. The latest group of U.S. Rhodes scholars includes TEN African-Americans — the most ever in a single Rhodes class. The class includes Simone Askew, the first black woman to serve as first captain of the Corps of Cadets at the U.S. Military Academy — the highest position in the cadet chain of command at West Point.
