TRIENNIAL GIVING REPORT 2013-2016 INVESTING IN SCHOLARSHIPS, FUTURES AND DREAMS A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Morehouse College Donor Community: As president of Morehouse College, it is with deep gratitude that I thank you for remaining steadfast in supporting and investing in More- house. It is your spirit of philanthropy, coupled with your commitment to our mission to develop men who exhibit Morehouse’s values, tradi- tions and expectations, that propels the College towards the world of our dreams. Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” With your generosity, we are strengthening our financial base to ensure that we can effectively and consistently accomplish our task of educating men who demonstrate acuity, practice integrity, exhibit agency, are committed to brotherhood and lead consequential lives. Ultimately, your investment in Morehouse helps us establish the level of financial freedom that is required to sustain and expand that work. With your support, we are looking towards a significantly larger endowment, improving and modernizing our campus and creating extensive partnerships with national and international corporate and philanthropic communities. This triennial report provides an in-depth look at giving to Morehouse over the past three years from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016. It highlights our most critical fundraising initiatives and many of the powerhouse alumni, trustee, student and corporate donors who make those initiatives successful. Your gifts to Morehouse remain vital to our financial future. As we prepare to celebrate the College’s Sesquicentennial (www.morehouse150th.com) Anni- versary, let us pause and reflect on the support for the College during the last three years, and then turn our sights to the next 150 years. This triennial report recognizes the supporters that answered an appeal, accepted a challenge, provided in-kind support, fulfilled a pledge, established a new scholarship or con- tributed to an existing one. And, while there are not enough words to adequately express our profound appreciation for your investment in Morehouse and the young men that we serve, I will simply say thank you. Forever Grateful, John Silvanus Wilson, Jr. 1 A REFRESHING NEW TWIST IN FUNDRAISING COCA-COLA FOUNDATION CHALLENGE PROVES THAT WHEN ALUMNI STEP UP MOREHOUSE STANDS OUT!

Not only did Morehouse meet the soft drink giant's challenge, they surpassed it and did so more than two weeks before the June, 30, 2016 deadline. 'To me this victory is about so much more than meeting the challenge,' shared More- house President John Silvanus Wilson, Jr. 'It's about the sense of loyalty alumni have for our alma mater and their willingness time and time again to answer and act when she calls.' Ultimately, Morehouse is extremely grateful to The Coca-Cola Foundation for issuing the challenge and inspiring a movement among alumni to support the institution's most critical needs. The College is also most appreciative of every gift and every alumnus who made it possible, proving once again that when alumni step up, Morehouse stands out! 2 RIVERS, PERRY LEAD GIVING FOR COCA-COLA CHALLENGE Rufus Rivers '86 Verdun Perry '94 While almost 1,200 alumni Mr. Perry has an M.B.A. from accepted the Coke Challenge, two Harvard Business School, where were especially generous in their he was a Robert Toigo Foundation support.

  • Towards the Development of a Black Mestizo Homiletic Timothy Jones

    Towards the Development of a Black Mestizo Homiletic Timothy Jones

    Black Preaching in Brown Places: Towards the Development of a Black Mestizo Homiletic Timothy Jones PhD Student in Practical Theology/Homiletics Boston University School of Theology Abstract: Many Black neighborhoods across the United States are becoming increasingly Latin@. Black churches in these neighborhoods will need to adjust their ministry practices in order to build community amongst this changing demographic. Borrowing Elizondo’s notion of mestizo as one who can operate as both insider and outsider in different cultural locations, this paper begins to reimagine Black preaching in the churches that serve these changing neighborhoods. Using the postcolonial themes of marginality, hybridity, and self-reflexivity, this paper proposes the beginnings of a Black Mestizo homiletic that looks to merge Black and Latin@ preaching traditions in order to form congregations representative of the community. The Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles, CA, has served its community faithfully since it was founded in 1885. The oldest Black church in Los Angeles, Second Baptist played a very important role in the Civil Rights Movement and actually became the west coast pulpit of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., during the movement. While ministering at Second Baptist, Dr. King preached messages about serving the community and building the “beloved community” for all people. The challenge of preaching in this “beloved community” has changed in recent years for Second Baptist’s current Pastor, Rev. William Epps, as there have been major shifts in the demographics of Second Baptist’s neighborhood. A community that was once comprised of mixed income African Americans, has now become “a very low-income, largely Latino immigrant community.”1 While the church continues to be primarily African American, made up of members that commute in from other areas, there is a new challenge of preaching in ways that promote the idea of serving this newly Latino community.

Greetings! America is currently at war with between 0 and 134 countries. Constitutionally- required Declarations Of War may be passé, but our war machine limps along vigorously under endless “authorizations for use of military force”. However, war can only be a temporary measure for any society. It may sometimes be necessary but it always costs, and no society can bear the expense forever. Put aside the irreplaceable price in blood... what’s the cost in treasure of our current state of Endless War, what could we do with that treasure instead, and what can we do to turn things around? How much do we spend on guns and how much butter could it buy? The military budget itself was near $600 billion in 2015 and we’ve spent over $7.6 trillion on war since 2001, but that may be misleading.

    The RELICT HOMINOID INQUIRY 6:33-170 (2017) Book Section Reprint THE STRUGGLE FOR TROGLODYTES1 Boris Porshnev "I have no doubt that some fact may appear fantastic and incredible to many of my readers. For example, did anyone believe in the existence of Ethiopians before seeing any? Isn't anything seen for the first time astounding? How many things are thought possible only after they have been achieved?" (Pliny, Natural History of Animals, Vol. VII, 1) INTRODUCTION BERNARD HEUVELMANS Doctor in Zoological Sciences How did I come to study animals, and from the study of animals known to science, how did I go on to that of still undiscovered animals, and finally, more specifically to that of unknown humans? It's a long story. For me, everything started a long time ago, so long ago that I couldn't say exactly when. Of course it happened gradually. Actually – I have said this often – one is born a zoologist, one does not become one. However, for the discipline to which I finally ended up fully devoting myself, it's different: one becomes a cryptozoologist. Let's specify right now that while Cryptozoology is, etymologically, "the science of hidden animals", it is in practice the study and research of animal species whose existence, for lack of a specimen or of sufficient anatomical fragments, has not been officially recognized. I should clarify what I mean when I say "one is born a zoologist. Such a congenital vocation would imply some genetic process, such as that which leads to a lineage of musicians or mathematicians.

Rennie Bere Mysterious footprints in the Himalayan snows have been reported at intervals since early in the 19th Century. So have tales of monsters, whether man-like apes or ape-like men is never quite clear. Similar stories are told in many coun­ tries, though the Himalayan versions do seem to have more substance than most. They are often accompanied by eye-witness accounts which, however, are difficult to substantiate and inclined to be suspect; unsophisticated people like the Sherpas do not easily distinguish direct evidence from hearsay or re­ ality from myth. There are few recorded European sightings of any relevance but this is not surprising as climbing parties are rarely silent and have other objectives in mind. The position thus is that if the footprints and genuine sightings are not attributable to animals already known to science-and several large mammals occasionally move up to considerable altitudes in the Hima­ laya and adjacent ranges-the creature concerned must be the Yeti, the term which will be used in"this article. If such an animal exists it must surely be a primate, presumably an ape not a hominid.
