When Morehouse College redefined their dress code, it was obvious to most that there was something going on over there.? Not to say that it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but the dress code did nothing to redefine the image of what a “Morehouse Man” is these days.

Yesterday, Vibe posted an article about the new Morehouse man. Forcing all to take a look inside what was really behind all the hoopla surrounding that dress code issue.

But I don?t want that to define me. How come people can?t just see me as a person??
