During the 1940s and early 1950s, there was an unwritten rule that prohibited African Americans from playing Major League baseball.

This study was only a snapshot of how African American males felt about their experiences at Morehead State University. There is a need on campus to find ways of helping African American males connect with others. Whether it be in the classroom or outside the classroom.

Priorities The safety of African countries is at stake in the fight against terrorism. However, it is important to note that the establishment of U.S. Africa Command did not mean the U.S. military was taking over the security matter of African’s countries away from Africa military forces. Rather, the command operates as a central authority in coordinating and supporting African governments and standing local organizations, such as the African Standby Force.
