A Morehouse College new student tradition we love to see every year! This is how they welcome their new brothers in! Black men who are future doctors, lawyers, architects, accountants, CEOs, husbands, fathers, teachers, politicians, and even President!

What can a great coach teach you about leadership?
NBA legend #BillWalton learned from the best - UCLA coach John Wooden
Walton shares lessons of leadership he learned from Wooden & others during his storied career, principles that transfer off the court too
RIP Bill Walton
"He's the closet thing I've seen mentally and physically to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. He has that same mentality."

There’s no feeling that can compare to winning a National Championship! 🏆 It’s crazy to think that 45 years ago me and my MSU teammates won a national title. I knew we were up against a 33-0 Indiana State team led by Player of the Year Larry Bird, so I had to make sure I did my part for my team to bring home the trophy. Being awarded Most Valuable Player of the game for my 24 point/ 7 rebound / 5 assist performance and having my teammate Greg Kelser show out with a 19 point / 8 rebound/ 9 assist performance proved two stars was better than one!
#OnThisDay in 1961, nine Black students from Tougaloo College entered the all-white Jackson Municipal Library and sat down. Police arrived and ordered them to go to the “colored” library, but when they refused, police arrested them.
On the day of their trial, Jackson State University students marched to the lawn outside the jail, where they were joined by Mississippi NAACP leader Medgar Evers and other civil rights activists. Police used tear gas and dogs on the protesters, some of whom were injured by the attack, including an 81-year-old man who suffered a broken arm.
The judge ordered each Tougaloo student to pay a $100 fine and gave them each a 30-day suspended sentence. The sit-in inspired other protests across Mississippi, including at Jackson State University, where students, including Dorie and Joyce Ladner, were expelled for their activism.
The NAACP filed a lawsuit against the library, which a federal court ordered to desegregate. Photos of the Tougaloo Nine now hang in the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.
