Dear old Morehouse ...

[this is good]
Da House! All I can say is WOW. Well, I hope that when brown people like us go into these white institutions that we are just as much embraced, loved and nurtured (I was embraced in elementary school through high school as a minorty but not in graduate school!)

I still have a pretty bad STING in my back from attending law school in the midwest and they were not supportive of its black students or really any of their minority students when I was a student. It pretty much upset me of how I was treated when I reached out for help. I do not even crack open their pleas for financial help when they could not simply help me during my time there as a student. However, I feel blessed this young man was able succeed in an environment where he was a minority but he was able to embrace the *black experience* and learn from it. I hope to hear more about him in the future!

This lady here truly defined to me though the problems we have as brown people in predominately white institutions: http://web.mac.com/jhumphries2/Site/Professional_Vitae.html [look to the left in the side bar discussing the modern day lynchings]

Thanks for sharing as always!
No thank YOU for reading and sharing as well. I think it's a totally different thing in the case of this brother attending Morehouse and the case of "people of color" in mainstream institutions. It's problematic and always will be. I can't go any further because I've been too close to the issue in my experience with higher education and corporate America. I just wish this guy well and I am happy that he chose to attend Morehouse.
