    The world frequently quotes our most famous and beloved alumnus, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but the world must know that without Morehouse, there would be no Dr. King.

    what in the fuck. yeah, he was a double legacy at morehouse but he got 2/3rds of his degrees at other institutions, including his doctorate. and, more importantly, credentials don't create people. successful and influential alumni are something to brag about, not claim as a created property.

    i would be furious if the place that i got my credentials said or even implied i wouldn't exist without them.
