Morehouse, the nation’s only college dedicated exclusively to educating Black men, envisions the institute working in partnership with faculty in the College’s Africana Studies and History department.
A group listens as U.S. President Joe Biden speaks to a crowd at the Atlanta University Center Consortium, part of both Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, on Jan. 11, 2022 in Atlanta. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris delivered remarks on voting rights legislation. ATLANTA — For more than 150 years, Morehouse College has built a reputation as a leading institution to educate Black men.
While many colleges have Black studies departments, Morehouse officials say the institute is unique because it will intentionally focus on men. Ample research shows the negative disparities among Black men nationally in education, employment, income and life expectancy. The average life span for Black men is 68 years old, shorter than any other demographic group, federal statistics show.
