Morehouse College Remembers Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


Martin Luther King Jr. attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of 15; he received his B.A. degree in Sociology in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro college institution in Atlanta, from which his father and grandfather both graduated.


In his weekly address and newspaper columns, Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, the Morehouse President, urged Morehouse men to be "sensitive to the wrongs, the sufferings and the injustices of society", and to "accept responsibility for correcting these ills."
