Incoming Howard University freshman Jehu King is in it for the long haul.

The Jacksonville, Florida native was accepted into Howard’s Humanities & Social Sciences Scholars Program and plans to study political science and economics.

“I’m looking to become a field expert…I want Howard to prepare me to have intellectual and academic growth…I’m looking to become a voice for my community, especially for those who are underrepresented,” King said.

His research interest lies in understanding Black-owned banks and how they impact the economic development of marginalized communities and historically redlined communities.

King also hopes to earn his Ph.D. and a J.D., and he believes he can do all of this through hard work and his Mecca connections.

“I want to approach this as a Black scholar, that isn’t radical—it isn’t radical to be a Black scholar—and that’s what Howard’s teaching me. It’s preparing me to reshape my own work, outside of what typical institutions teach us to think about systemic disparities, finance health, and education,” King said.
