Morehouse College Maroon Tiger

The Maroon Tiger, Morehouse College’s weekly student run newspaper was first issued in 1898 as The Athenaeum. The publication was renamed The Maroon Tiger in 1925 and became a monthly publication. The newspaper highlighted student life and campus activities, poetry, fiction and opinion. By November of 1996 the Maroon Tiger had begun to publishing a quarterly supplement “to re-visit the tradition of the Afrikan griot by documenting the actions, traditions, iniquities and ideologies of the 21st century Morehouse man.” The Maroon Tiger continues today as a student-run weekly publication at Morehouse College.
