“We are challenged by leadership, including myself. Because of poor decision making in the past, the school is where it is today,” Pritchett said. “I feel in a very real sense that I am on a mission. One of my brothers who died in 2000 graduated from Morris Brown, and I feel that he is watching over me and the college; he is urging me to save his school. So I have a personal investment in the college…”

Pritchett said: “When people say that Morris Brown should give up and close, I want to ask the naysayers several questions. First, what would our fathers who envisioned our educating our OWN children, say? Would they believe that their efforts were in vain? Second, why should we limit the possible opportunities for our young people, especially those who, for whatever reason, cannot or choose not to go to other larger schools which, in many cases, are not as committed to seeing OUR children succeed?” – Washington Post
