If someone told you the first school in Georgia that was completely run by African-Americans is on the verge of no longer existing would you believe it? Well this might become reality sooner than later. The school that I speak of is Morris Brown. At one time Morris Brown was a big part of the AUC. Just recently the city of Atlanta cut off the water at the school because of delinquent water bills in the amount of $380,000. The story hits home for me because so many people in my family received their education from Morris Brown. Morris Brown has always been the school that gave students a chance to receive a college education that normally wouldn't. Why haven't any notable figures in the African-American stepped up to help? Where is the bailout for this prized historical institution?
