For more than 150 years, Morehouse College has built a reputation as a leading institution to educate Black men.
It also wants to be known as the go-to place for research that results in better health, professional and societal outcomes for all Black men.
The Atlanta college announced Tuesday that it has launched what officials there say is one of its most important ventures in recent years: the Black Men’s Research Institute. The institute will study the cultural, economic, personal and social outcomes of issues affecting Black men, particularly where disparities exist in the world.
