KMT ASEN (pronounced
Kem-et Aw-sin), an African
Fraternal organization, and
the Committee for Campus
Consciousness (CCC), a
student organization at
Morehouse College welcomes
AUC students, faculty, and
staff to attend the first Annual
African American Leadership
Forum on January 29,1998, in
the Sale Hall Chapel at 6:00
p.m. The forum is centered
around a panel discussion on
the topic of "Theorizing on
African American
Nationalism in the 21st
Century".
Each panel member was
selected because of their
expertise in a different area of
the nationalist philosophy
movement. It features
renowned scholars Dr. Gloria
Wade-Gayles, an English
professor at Spelman College,
and Dr. Robert Hill, Director of
the Marcus Garvey Papers
Project at UCLA. Dr. Hill is
considered one of the foremost
authorities on the study of
Marcus Garvey's life.
Princeton graduate Dr.
Eddie Glaude, who received
his Ph.D. under Cornel West,
and Ronald Sullivan Esq.,
Harvard law graduate and
prominent Washington D.C.
attorney are also panelists.
Glaude and Sullivan, two
founding members of KMT,
have co-written a piece that
will be featured in their new
book entitled Race
Consciousness. The tentative
moderator for the
dicussion is
Morehouse College
sociology professor
Dr. Larry Crawford.
Given the social,
political and
economic realities of
today, the goal of this
event is to begin a
dialogue that
African-Americans
can use as an overall
framework to apply
the philosophy of
nationalism. You are
encouraged to come
help KMT ASEN
and the CCC embark
on their mission of
liberating the minds,
bodies, and souls of
African people
throughout the
African Diaspora. If
you have any
questions or want
further details about
KMT ASEN, the
CCC, or the forum,

Overall, the campus looks (and lives) better than it has in a
long time. There is still much to do, of course, and we are
addressing specific issues as quickly as we can. I realize
that one of the most pressing issues is parking - a seemingly
endless challenge faced by all growing colleges and
universities. We are mindful that every time we grow, we
are creating a new demand for more parking. Please be
assured that our plans are taking this into consideration.
Meanwhile, I believe that our current parking system - if
properly followed - allows ample parking for all members
of the College community who are authorized to have
vehicles on campus.
As always, I invite you to respond to these ideas with your
own thoughts and suggestions. To make Morehouse the
best house will require the commitment of us all.
Sincerely,
Walter E. Massey
