Bison Brothers: 10 Notable Men Who Attended Howard University

August 29th, 2012 - By Stephanie Guerilus

Howard University has groomed some of the best female talent in acting, literature and for the world stage, and the school has also had the same success when it comes to their male students. These 10 prominent men have studied in the school’s classrooms (and cut a rug at the Homecoming festivities…) and have gone on to do amazing things.

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs
Diddy has called himself many names over the years, but each version of himself has always been proud to hype up the time he spent at the famed HBCU. He was majoring in Business when he dropped out in 1989, but has given back to the school in various ways. He was part of the Howard Homecoming in 1995 alongside the Notorious B.I.G., he keeps close ties with current students and even offered support as students protested over housing and financial aid packages in 2009.

    Ok, you’ve done the women and now men that went to HU. How about doing show real work and do an artilce about men and women that GRADUATED from HBCUs? I find that more interesting than someone that just attended the school.

    After seeing Cole on this list my respect for him as an actor just tripled because I would’ve never guessed he had any spec of intelligence. That just goes to show that you can’t judge someone based on a role or what hollywood has chosen to type cast them in.

  • James

    What the heck, how can you leave out Lance Gross? Some of the men you listed didn’t even graduate!

      Is Lance a “notable” actor? Maybe in a few more years.
