Welcome to our website, we are so glad and honored that you decided to look us up to learn more about who we are, what we do, and what drives us to continue to support Morris Brown College, located in Atlanta, Georgia. We are pleased to provide more information about our beloved organization, how you can become a member and invest in the future of our students at Morris Brown College. Without you and your support, we would not be able to do what we do in supporting our students to achieve academically and grow into a productive citizen. Thank you so much for all you have done and will continue to do.

Sincerely,
Dr. Bola Tilghman
