Bison For Life: 10 Famous Ladies Who Went To Howard University
Roberta Flack
The “Killing Me Softly” songstress always knew what she wanted to do with her life as she once confessed to playing the piano all day long as music was one of the cores of her life. She took formal lessons at 13 and was so great that she was awarded a scholarship to Howard at the tender age of 15. She was one of the youngest people to attend the school. In 1958, at the age of 19, she graduated with a B.A. in music education. Flack is a Delta and was even made an honorary member of Tau Beta Sigma at Howard for her work in music education.
