- Title
Dr. Frances Cress Welsing: A Genius Shunned by Black Academicians.
- Authors
Jennings, Regina
- Abstract
This work argues that Howard University, a historically African American university, refused to honor the genius of Frances Cress Welsing, M.D. with the academic accolades available. Thus, it also explores the possibilities as to why the university rejected Dr. Welsing when it could have in multiple years, given her an academic chair which would have given her greater esteem and a salary so that she could have continued her research, writing, and lecturing unencumbered. The presentation concludes that the Howard University rejection and isolation of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing is betrayal which is cause for the questioning of the purposes of historically Black colleges and universities in the U.S.
