Morehouse College, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is a historically African-American institute for men. The school was founded in 1867 by Baptist minister and cabinet maker William Jefferson White. The school originally known as the Augusta Institute, but as the school changed location over the year, so did its name. In 1913 the school received its current name which was given in honor of Dr. Henry L. Morehouse, an organizer of support for the college. The school is known for some of its notable alumni, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Director Spike Lee, and Atlanta's first black mayor Maynard Jackson.
