We can't destroy our own history, as we sit and rise on the shoulders of some great elders

There's no need to tear down buildings. Instead, use the money to restore the buildings. There are many unused dorms on campus. Restoring these dorms would allow us to have more students which equals more money. Also, it can be used for things that have yet to open on campus i.e. The Wellness Center's Cafe. How would destroying these buildings benefit us? Think about that.

STOP the planned demolition of Azikiwe-Nkrumah Hall. I was at a museum in Ghana and Lincoln University is thought of with great affection and adoration when it come to Kwame Nkrumah. Let's leave history to those who would preserve it.

As alumni are we aware that the first restoration project given to the AALU is Bond House. This was done around May 2013.
Are we trying to save all the buildings or just the ones with real significant history. For example, what was the name of Azikiwe-Nkruman Hall? Is this an honor to them?
We can easily ask the Lincoln University to start a restoration fund. Are you willing to donate? The value in any petition is that action is taken. Our words, our willingness to share our treasurer and talent must be equal. If we are committed than lets make that committment.

Historians work hard to preserve artifacts and builidings that represent the struggles of African Americans. It does not make sense to destroy but to preserve for our future generations.

I did not attend Lincoln University child and grandchild but I did attend an HBCU as did my grandchild. So much of our history has been lost, I would say most. Why in the world would you of all institutions want to DESTROY the evidence of one of the Premier black Universities. SHAME ON You!!!

It is important to maintain buildings such as this. Instead of using funds to demolition the buildings, use the funds to preserve and develop a capital campaign.

Lincoln must remain connected to the old as well as the new. That connection will allow persons who walk on those hollowed grounds a sense of being and determination to not only respect what the future looks like but also the brick layers who made such a future possible.

The remarkable value this institution represents for both African Americans and the nation as a whole cannot be understated. For its historic contributions to the global community in the form of graduates, important events and physical sites The Lincoln University deserves to be recognized as a historical landmark.

That is what happens when you get an administration that does not appreciate the history of Lincoln. A Trustee Board that knows the history but doesnt care. And an Alumni that believes the answer to all concerns is to write a check.

For the sake of history, beauty and charm these buildings bring to our beloved campus is worth fighting for this noble cause.
