Last time I visited Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia (disclosure: I did work for them in 2013), John Silvanus Wilson was deep in thought. It was Christmas 2014 — a great time for reflection — and he was just ending the second year as president of a college best known for one of its alumni: Dr. Martin King. But during Dr. Wilson’s tenure, the Morehouse brand has evolvedin another direction: as a place committed to STEM education for African American men.  The school boasts a lot of “number one’s.”  It’s the number one institution of “baccalaureate origin for black men earning a PhD in science and engineering.”  It also boasts a lot of “mores,” in keeping with its namesake.  According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, Morehouse produced more black male applicants (148) to medical school between 2010 and 2014 than any other college in the US.
