Morris Brown College, a private, liberal arts institution located in Atlanta, Georgia, was founded in 1881 by the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church for the "moral, spiritual and intellectual growth of Negro boys and girls." The original site for the school was located at Boulevard and Houston Street in Northeast Atlanta. On October 5, 1885, under the charter granted by the State of Georgia, Morris Brown College opened with nine teachers and 107 students. To prepare students for ministerial careers in the A.M.E. Church, Morris Brown opened a theology department in 1894, which became the Turner Theological Seminary in 1900. The seminary's name honors Henry McNeal Turner, a pioneering A.M.E Church organizer. Turner Seminary remained affiliated with Morris Brown until 1957, when it joined the Interdenominational Theological Center. The school operated until 1894 on the primary, secondary, and normal school levels, while the College department was established in 1894 and graduated its first class in 1898. By 1908 the school boasted an enrollment of nearly 1,000 students. It continued to offer instruction in industrial trades as well as academic fields and awarded two-year degrees in addition to four-year bachelor's degrees, but over time administrators placed greater emphasis on the development of the school's college-level curriculum. Morris Brown joined the Atlanta University Center in 1941, and along with Atlanta University, Clark College, Spelman College, and Morehouse College formed the largest consortium of HBCUs in the country. They remained members of the AUC until 2002. The yearbooks of Morris Brown College chronicles the annual activities of the institution.

The AUC Author Series is a production of the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library librarians. The series began in 2011 when Dr. L.H. Whelchel of the Interdenominational Theological Center was interviewed about his newly published book, The History & Heritage of African-American Churches : A Way Out of No Way. Woodruff Librarians have since gone on to interview members from Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Spelman College and the AUC Woodruff library. Our goal is to showcase, through video interviews with the creators themselves, the most important books, articles and other creative efforts produced by members of our Atlanta University Center community.
