THE
MASSEY LEGACY
When President Walter E. Massey ’58 was asked
to return to his
alma mater as its ninth president, he had to be persuaded
to take
the job. Twelve years later, after promulgating a vision
statement
that ushered in a cultural change, conducting an historic
capital
campaign that shattered previous giving records, and
completing
campus improvements ranging from major construction
to
community involvement, he leaves confident that he
was indeed “the right leader at the right time” for
Morehouse College.

A

Association, has marching orders—to get the NAA
to the next level. No more lagging behind. No more excuses.

BACK
TO THE OLD LANDMARK
Every five years,Morehouse pays homage to its humble
birthplace.
Before there was an historic Graves Hall, or a world-renown
chapel named in honor of one of the College’s greatest
alumnus,
or a towering, state-of-the-art Leadership Center building,
there
was a small basement in a Baptist church in Augusta,
Georgia.

the life and legacy of the College since its inception
140 years ago.
