Clothes don't make the Morehouse Man
Instead of banning feminine attire, Morehouse College could lead the way in redefining manhood

There's an old saying at my alma mater that one does not simply choose to attend Morehouse College, rather, Morehouse College chooses her sons, those "Men of Morehouse" to be made "Morehouse Men." She chooses these men, these men called not to curse the wretchedness of the dark, but rather to light a candle in that dark and illuminate within it the truth, beauty and justice that disturbs the universe.

This is my attempt to light a candle.

It was earlier this year that I first heard vestiges of what was to eventually become the "Appropriate Attire" policy that has temporarily catapulted Morehouse College into dissonant notoriety.
