CAU Marching Band

I'm not sure what this was about. Must have been an end of the year rally as we start reading period and then final exam week. If only I can show and convey the performance of this band. They were at Sen. Obama's rally just over a couple of weeks ago.

Ms. Spelman Pageant

Morehouse College had already had theirs now it's time for the ladies of Spelman College to have theirs. And how appropriate as the school year is winding down.

Stay in school kids!!!!

I try not to knock our janitorial staff but this can really be a good motivation to tell kids to stay in school or you'll make the errors this guys make in making a sign when they clean the bathrooms. The sign reads...

This bathroom is tempory close

Remember kids,"Keep your butt in school!!!"

Morehouse College Alpha Phi Alpha probate

Alpha Rho chapter initiates their newest iniatiates.

Atlanta City Hall

Or I understand correctly it's called old City Hall. I dropped by to see a presentation by the finance department. This was for class and it was a very interesting presentation to see how a municipality makes their budget decisions.

Georgia capitol dome

I suppose you can call this the real Georgia Dome where the Atlanta Falcons play. This is a different Georgia Dome where state legislators meet. On the grounds there are sculptures of mostly important figures in Georgia and this includes President Jimmy Carter.

I wanted to get a picture of Jimmy Carter but I didn't have enough storage on the phone to even either keep the picture or post it here.

Miss Maroon and White pageant

Earlier this week the seven ladies in this competition were campaign on campus. Tonight they have their show with a Q&A, talent, and an evening gown segment. Then we vote.

Here we see one of the contestants playing a piano and singing a contemporary song.

I wish I had a photo of it, but the one act that stole the show was a group of guys performing as Chinese dragons. It was hilarious because it went on and on. Everytime we thought it was over they'd start up again. The crowd hated it, but I found it the most interesting only because of the crowd's reaction.

Spelman SGA campaign

A lot of things seem off this year. Usually Spelman College holds their elections in February/March. This sign looks a lot more profession than I would have expected.

The ladies of Spelman College generally like to make handmade campaign materials of which this sign wasn't. And I see that they have other posters around that I didn't take pictures of that use familiar corporate logos like one sign feigned a Cingular look, another Pepsi, and other still Kellogs (or to be more specific Special K).

DST - Wall

I really like the displays the ladies of the Delta Sigma Theta Chapter at Spelman College (HK-and those are greek letters) have put up. This is a more interesting one with the iPod and a nice message on the wall.

Spoken word at the Morehouse College Jazzman's Cafe

I was at an Obama rally!!!

I'm working on my Obama rally post for The Mind and I hope to have it up and some other pictures today.

Another display

At Spelman College and it makes me wanna take a vacation.

Alumni Day Crown Forum 2

At this moment we were viewing a video presentation before we get to hear our keynote speaker, Morehouse Alumni Julius Coles who is president of this non-profit Africare.

Alumni Day Crown Forum

It's only the beginning.

BT Harvey Stadium

The Morehouse football season doesn't start until next fall but that doesn't mean there isn't any activity at the stadium. At this time there was a track meet held there.

Back on campus

I was walking back to campus and I was near the parking deck on campus. I was in front of the campus coffee shop. A place I don't often go because I'm not a big consumer of coffee products.

Fair St.

Looking I believe east on the strip. A bus was heading back west. I wish this was a better picture, it's a little more blurry for my taste.

The bell

I watched this video produced from PBS a few years ago called Morehouse Men. It's a documentary about Morehouse College and we look into the lives of some of the students at Morehouse. One of the scenes you see will take place here at this bell. A guy says that a Morehouse graduate got his degree got his job and left. However, a Morehouse Man will answer this bell whenever it rings.

I was able to check this video out of the library many years ago. If you want to look for it now do so, it's a great video.

Mays Hall lounge

Podium 2

This Good Friday I went over to the closed Morris Brown College to check out their campus. It was made up in time for a movie last year. This podium had a much larger platform last year than it does this year. But most of what I saw here last year is still there.

Crown forum 2

At this moment our Speaker Rev. Dr. Echol Nix was talking about the war in Iraq. He expressed his opposition and wish that it would end. Indeed he may have wished that there was no war ever.

Crown forum

Today's crown forum a very special one in time for Science and Spiritual Awareness Week.

Walking to class today...

A couple of ladies were outside here shooting video. Clark-Atlata University is something of a communications school. They have a mass media major. This accounts for the prosumer cameras I have seen around here frequently.

Frat letters

Omega Psi Phi week at CAU.

Waiting for class

Last week...

Was Delta Week at CAU. The pearl bearing Sigma chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority sponsored this week. This poster feigned an advertisement of a record called DSTiny Fufilled.
