Nikki greets Wen with a hug at the entrance to Howard University

Nikki:Hey, Wen! Welcome to D.C.! Glad you came out to visit!

Wen:Thanks for inviting me. Actually, I've never been anywhere with so many black people before. It's different.

Nikki:Howard is eighty percent black. But there are whites, and even Asians here. Thankfully, it's also coed.

Wen:Great! Is your dorm coed, too?

Nikki:Sorry, nope. But the Alpha Phi Alpha's are throwing a party tonight.

Wen:That's a black fraternity, right? So we should see some dancing!
