so they rushed her to the howard university emergency room. mr. speaker, here's where the university system completely failed her. when the doctor finally came to see hannah, he told her, she was too drunk so she should go home and just sleep it all off. the friends begged the doctor to give her a rape kit, but he just away. and sent them this is malpractice, mr. speaker. rape kits can provide critically important evidence in sexual assault kits, especially case where is the victim has been drugged . when hannah woke up the next morning, she was in so much pain she could barely walk. so she called the police and returned to the university emergency room for a rape kit. but because hannah couldn't remember exactly what happened and who her assailant was, the police and the hospital staff again refused to conduct a rape kit. mr. speaker, the purpose of a rape kit is to find out who the assailant was. desperate and being denied assistance from her own university, hannah still reached out for help. she went to george washington university hospital. but

and howard university, in that process, one of the things i think about working on a book for a longumulate many different resources. you talk and work and interact with so many people and at some point something he said to you, some things that was done and whoever comes back and fits and helps suture together the thoughts and ideas hanging apart for a long time and one of those people for me was professor eleanor trailer, professor of english at howard university. i was working with my great friends, richard powell, professor of art history. the blues aesthetic. and struck me, helped pull together, it was special about what i wanted this book to say so at the time in the late 80s everybody was all involved and in love with alex haley's roots even though historians were always nitpicking it to death but partly because it was so popular. we all know that as historians. we hate to see journalists move into our territory and do a job better than we could but they are writers. i will read this little part. alex haley's roots is a story relating to questions expressed through a search fo

i also want to give a shout-out though to howard university, and in that process read something.nk about working on a book for a long time is that you accumulate many debts, but you also accumulate many resources. in other words, you talk and you work and you interact with so many people, and you don't realize it, but at some point during the process something they've said to you, something that was done or whatever comes back, and it fits in somewhere or it helps suture together some thoughts or ideas that were kind of hanging apart for a long time. and one of those people for me was professor eleanor trailer, a professor of english at howard university. i met her when i was working with my great friend richard powell, the duke professor of art history, who had put together an exhibition called the blews aesthetic. -- blues aesthetic. so we were working on this, and i just want to read you something. it struck me that when i was working toward the end, it kind of helped pull together what was special about alain locke and particularly what i wanted this book to say. so at the ti
