Sometimes, people just need the opportunity to be great. We created the scholarship foundation to be an opening of a door; the first step in a new direction. No one should be cheated out a chance at success just because they can’t continue their education.

President Barack Obama to Deliver Morehouse’s 129th Commencement on May 19th

Sat, 11 May 2013 17:53:01 UT

“It was a wonderful announcement to make,” Wilson said later. “I’ve talked about this being a pivotal year for us. First, it is the 150^th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, with that symbol being freedom; the 100^th anniversary of Morehouse being called Morehouse, and that symbol is identity; and the 50^th anniversary of “The Dream,” articulated by our most illustrious graduate, Martin Luther King Jr. ’48, and that symbol is the dream. And to add to that, we have, for the first time ever in our history, a visit by a sitting president of the United States, the most powerful person in the world. This is a great thing. And it is a rare thing.”
