According to Morehouse College’s president, close to 300 HBCUs have closed in the nation’s history. At 150 years old, Morehouse College has proved that its commitment to creating the best and brightest has been the key to its success. Last week, the college celebrated its sesquicentennial and held the Candle in the Dark Gala at the Hyatt Regency hotel in downtown Atlanta. Gathered were the Black elite of not only Atlanta but from across the United States.
