Join us to announce a year-long centennial celebration honoring 100 years of The Maroon Tiger (MT), Morehouse College's iconic student newspaper.
From its origins as the Anthanaum in 1898 to its renaming as The Maroon Tiger in approximately February 1925, our student media organization has served as a vital platform for student storytellers, journalists, creatives, and media leaders for a century. We proudly honor the countless alumni who have honed their skills within these pages and gone on to shape narratives locally, nationally, and globally.
This special event marks the official announcement and commencement of MT100, a year-long celebration and ambitious fundraising initiative dedicated to honoring the rich legacy and ensuring the vibrant future of The Maroon Tiger. Our goal is to raise $250,000 to invest in essential tools, enhanced training programs, and vital resources needed to empower the next century of excellence in student media at Morehouse College.
