About the Morehouse Male Initiative

Morehouse College has decided to play a more active role in conducting and disseminating research and best practices regarding the affirmative development of African American males. As the only predominantly African American male institution of higher education in the country, and given its history of producing leaders and successful individuals, Morehouse is a natural laboratory for studying the personal, academic, and leadership development of African American males. The Morehouse Male Initiative (MMI) is the first of a three-phase plan designed to achieve the college’s goal of becoming a clearinghouse of information regarding African American males. The second phase will include research on African American males attending several HBCU’s and predominantly White institutions. The third phase will involve the establishment of national and international research workgroups studying Black males and establishing Morehouse as a clearinghouse for research and best practices regarding the academic and personal development of African American males.
