Holmes Hall
Holmes Hall is located at the academic center of campus
and is the University's best-known architectural landmark. Originally
built in 1949, it is named after Dwight O. W. Holmes, Morgan's fifth president
and the first African-American to hold that position. During Holmes' presidency,
Morgan made the transition from a private to a public institution.
TRUTH HALL
Truth Hall serves as the Morgan's main administration building. Located
near the academic center of campus, it was constructed in 1946 and originally
was used as a women's residence hall. Truth Hall is named after Sojourner
Truth, who was born a slave in the state of New York about 1797. Freed in
1827 when New York passed anti-slavery legislation, she became an active
abolitionist and one of the most famous anti-slavery orators of her time.
Sojourner Truth also became the first prominent African-American woman to
become closely associated with the women's suffrage movement.
