Morehouse College President David Thomas announced that he will retire next year, saying it is time for new leadership at the prominent all-male, historically Black school he has led since 2018.
David Thomas, the first leader in 50 years who isn’t an alumnus _ moved into a cramped dormitory room Tuesday for two days to get a taste of what life is like for first-year students of the prestigious historically black school in Atlanta. He’ll be staying at Graves Hall, the oldest building on campus that once housed the entire college. Although he won’t have a roommate, he’ll be sharing the floor with students.
