First White Valedictorian for Historically Black College
May 15, 2008Talk about reverse affirmative action. For the first time in its 141-year history, Morehouse College, the only institution of higher learning dedicated to the education of Black men, has a White valedictorian. 22-year-old Joshua Packwood from Kansas City Mo. will graduate from the institution on Sunday May 18th with a perfect 4.0 G.P.A. Although Packwood was accepted to Ivy League universities such as Harvard and Columbia he says chose to attend Morehouse because of the diversified experience that it would provide him. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of Morehouse’s most famous alumni, would’ve been proud.
