WXIA-TV ATLANTA — One of the trending topics on Twitter, not only in Atlanta, but around the country Monday was Morehouse College.

Classes aren’t in session, but students and alums are talking about the ‘Morehouse of tomorrow’ because of an open letter from a 1992 graduate to the college’s leadership.

The former student, who went on to study at Yale Law, is drawing attention to what he worries is a “downward trajectory” for the school.

 Imar Hutchins writes about multiple concerns, including the rigor of the academic program, but his first concern addresses historically black colleges and universities.

Hutchins asks in his letter: “Should black colleges even exist in the future, and if so, what should they look like?”

He goes on to write, “We are living in a very different world than we did just even a decade ago.”
