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.
