Nick Cannon announced via Instagram on Saturday that he matriculated at Washington, D.C.'s Howard University, which counts the brilliant minds of Toni Morrison, Thurgood Marshall, Zora Neale Hurston, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Roberta Flack, Stokely Carmichael (and many, many others) among its notable alumni.
