Morehouse is among the most important institutions in America and it is an enormous honor to have been asked to join the board.
There are so many inspiring people associated with the college–faculty, staff, and alumni–so many of whom have impressed me greatly. I look forward to getting to know more of of the Morehouse community in the coming years.
While I expect to learn more than I contribute, I hope that my experience as a past college president will prove useful. I also hope and assume that my many years of fundraising will also be of value to the college.
My wife and I have an extensive library of wonderful books, none of which mean more to me than my signed copy of Edmund Morgan’s American Slavery, American Freedom. (It was also signed by the preeminent slavery scholar, David Brion Davis, who gave me the book.) As to movies, I have seen so so many, but I especially like Money Ball (we watch a lot of documentaries, of which there are too many to name).
