Morehouse Leadership Needed to End Mass Shootings
By David H. Thomas, Ph.D. I write hoping that you have begun to enjoy and appreciate the beginning of summer. Unfortunately, I also write with a heaviness of heart. That heaviness comes upon me as I reflect on the days since our graduation and Reunion Weekend. That most glorious and celebratory Morehouse time was sandwiched by violence, first by the senseless killings in Buffalo, New York that targeted a Black community on the Saturday before our Commencement. A few days following Commencement, tragedy struck again in Uvalde, Texas, where little children and their teachers were slaughtered by an intruding shooter.
