The Organ of Student Expression

@morehouse1867’s student-led news org, The Maroon Tiger is the no. 1 award-winning HBCU newspaper. The organ of student expression since 1898.

ATLANTA – Historically Black Colleges and Universi ATLANTA – Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) punch far above their weight.

HBCUs enroll just 9 to 10 percent of Black undergraduates. They produce roughly 20 to 25 percent of all Black STEM graduates. Despite that impact, they receive less than 1 percent of the nation’s $60 billion in federal research funding. Lawmakers now aim to close that gap through new legislation.

Sens. Raphael Warnock ’91 (D-Ga.) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.) introduced the HBCU Research Capacity Act. The bipartisan bill would create a centralized federal clearinghouse. The system would help HBCUs identify and apply for research grants.

ATLANTA – Students gathered in Martin Luther King ATLANTA – Students gathered in Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel on Thursday, Mar. 19, for the Bayard Rustin Crown Forum panel, “Black Queer Images As Sacred Archive”. Moderated by Reverend Quincy Rhinehart, the Associate Dean of the chapel, the panel featured Reverend O.C. Allen, pastor of Vision Cathedral, a queer-affirming Pentecostal church in Atlanta; Reverend Dr. Brandon Thomas Crowley (‘08); and Reverend Father Darrell L. Tiller (‘83). 

Together, they discussed the necessity and power of queerness throughout African-American history, particularly Black queerness in sacred and educational spaces. The panelists, all openly queer, reflected on the enduring legacy of queerness throughout Black religious and educational spaces.

ATLANTA – On Feb. 26, 2026, the Atlanta Hawks anno ATLANTA – On Feb. 26, 2026, the Atlanta Hawks announced that Mar. 16, 2026 was Magic City Monday, a promotional event where the Hawks were set to partner with Magic City, the famed Atlanta strip club whose influence stretches across the country, to match their game against the Orlando Magic.

Then on Mar. 9 the event was abruptly canceled on the Atlanta Hawks Instagram. 

The event drew the ire of fans, players and the league itself. 

“We have heard significant concerns from a broad array of league stakeholders… I believe canceling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community,” said NBA commissioner Adam Silver.

ATLANTA – As the first week of Women’s History Mon ATLANTA – As the first week of Women’s History Month unfolded across the nation, the recent Crown Forum atmosphere encouraged reflection. Moderated by David Wall Rice, the discussion brought a living history to the stage. While the narrative of the Civil Rights Movement is often framed through the singular lens of heroic men, the Daughters of the Movement – a collective of women who are the direct descendants of the movement’s most iconic figure – are shifting that perspective.

Growing up at the dining room tables where marches were planned and sit-ins were strategized, these “legacy holders” shared what it means to carry the oral history, cultural values, and wisdom of revolutionary leaders into a new era.
