Howard’s reach has always extended far beyond The Yard. His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene of the Ashanti Kingdom, brought that global connection into focus during a historic visit to Howard University, delivering his first Royal Guest Lecture on campus to an audience of students, faculty, staff and invited guests. Speaking at Cramton Auditorium, the Asantehene reflected on the unity of African people across the globe, the preservation of cultural heritage and the enduring strength of the African diaspora. His visit continues a legacy that stretches back to Howard’s earliest years: welcoming leaders, scholars and students from around the world while serving as a vital bridge between Africa, the diaspora and the global community.
