Morehouse College

operated completely by black women. “From 1908 to 1935, as chairperson of its Board of Managers, she oversaw the provision of medical, recreational, employment, and educational services to Atlanta 's African-American neighborhoods.” John Hope became a professor at the Atlanta Baptist College, presently known as Morehouse College. John’s promotion to school president later played a fundamental role in Lugenia’s efforts to rebuild the black community. Hope’s Community Building Model Hope to enlisted the help of Morehouse students. Beginning in the West Fair neighborhood adjacent to Morehouse College, the students gathered and recorded pertinent demographic data and used the findings to evaluate, identify and implement welfare programs for the underprivileged. Morehouse College expanded to include a space for daycare, kindergartens and recreational facilities. The Union divided the city into districts. Each district had a board of directors that investigated the living conditions in the designated area. Because of its’ effectiveness and resourcefulness, this blueprint became an international model for community building. From 1909 to 1913, the Neighborhood Union used lobbying and the data collected by Morehouse students to battle community giants like the Atlanta Board of Education and the Atlanta City Council to increase teacher’s salaries, build new schools, sponsor health clinics and afterschool programs. The Neighborhood Union began providing political advocacy pushing…

My friend Michael, who was planning to attend Morehouse College, was the one who motivated me to apply to Spelman. At first I was…

based on the basis of success and I plan not to stray away from what my family has accomplished. Morehouse is another great chapter in my book gearing me towards my degree. Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy is the cause of my success; SACA’s structure helped me to think more deeply, the uniformity taught me discipline, and the workload helped prepare me for college. Southwest Atlanta Christian academy is the cause for my success. Without SACA I do know if I would have made it to…

Franklin Frazier was another criminologist that I found interesting. He studied in sociology and was deemed uncommon in his era for an African American. He was born in 1894 in Baltimore, Maryland. He studied at Howard University and social work in New York. He was able to obtain bachelor’s degree in 1916 which is encouraging because in those times there were so many obstacles that had to be dealt with in those times. He began teaching at the Morehouse College. His contributions toward…

that, if given enhanced guidance he could have gone on to accomplish many things. Sometimes you have to go be on listening to the beat of a song to really hear the lyrics. Going to this exhibit was beneficial to me because I learned a big lesson, what you see is never what something really is. Meaning before this event I always saw Tupac as that thug rapper from the hood. I did not know he was a man who wrote poems that encouraged the youth to make a change. One of the lines from his poem…
