Journalist and author A. Peter Bailey, a former Howard University student, best known for his work with Malcolm X, told a Howard journalism class that he was shocked to hear the University’s decision to award Hip-Hop artist Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs with an honorary doctorate degree in humanities and have him give the commencement address May 10. “I almost fell off my chair when I heard that our illustrious University will be honoring Diddy with a Doctorate Degree and that he would be the commencement speaker,” said Bailey. “Now people like Diddy are the the ones getting PhD’s and furthering education. But what about all those brothers sitting in jail because they were listening to what you were advocating and promoting in your music?”
