Martin Luther King, Jr. began his education at the Yonge Street Elementary School in Atlanta, Georgia. Following Yonge School, he was enrolled in David T. Howard Elementary School. He also attended the Atlanta University Laboratory School and Booker T. Washington High School. Because of his high score on the college entrance examinations in his junior year of high school, he advanced to Morehouse College without formal graduation from Booker T. Washington. Having skipped both the ninth and twelfth grades, Dr. King entered Morehouse at the age of fifteen.
In 1948, he graduated from Morehouse College with a B.A. degree in Sociology. That fall, he enrolled in Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania. While attending Crozer, he also studied at the University of Pennsylvania. He was elected president of the senior class and delivered the valedictory address; he won the Pearl Plafker Award for the most outstanding student; and he received the J. Lewis Crozer fellowship for graduate study at a university of his choice. He was awarded a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Crozer in 1951. SOURCE: Louisiana State University Library.
Personally, I think it is ironic that this President should be addressing the students of Morehouse, a college rich in the tradition of great African-American leadership. For a black man to have achieved the highest elected office in the land and to have hardly impacted the lives of black Americans for good should be a national embarrassment. Perhaps one of these fine graduates will actually make a difference and be a positive influence and role model.
President Barack Obama told graduates at a historically black university that they had “responsibilities” to help others rise above joblessness, depressed wages and widespread violence in their communities. “If we’re being honest with ourselves, too few of our brothers and sisters have the opportunities you’ve had here,” Obama said a commencement addresses at Morehouse College in Atlanta. “In troubled neighborhoods all across the country – many of them heavily African-American – too few of our citizens have role models to guide them.”
