Last week Dr. Tritobia H. Benjamin came to talk to us about the importance of scribes in ancient times, and their importance in our everyday lives. Dr. Benjamin also showed us around the campus through various pictures. She described each building, and their origins. She described the buildings names and each individual that the buildings were named after. She also described the importance of each individual being a scribe, and why it is important to have scribes today. She described scribes as being important to continue history, and to pass on the knowledge of the past.
Dr. Benjamin's presentation was easy to follow. She effectively showed us almost every building on campus through her power point. Dr. Benjamin's topic of discussion was scribes: continuing the legacy of Howard University. She told us that scribes were important, but didn't tell us how they continued our legacy at Howard. Dr. Benjamin repeated the word scribe a lot, which made it hard to understand the definition of the word that she was describing. Other than the confusing use of the word scribe, Dr. Benjamin's presentation was very well put together and informative. She showed the history of scribes through ancient Egyptian times, all the way to present day. She showed us the importance of scribes today, and encouraged us to be the scribes of the future.
